CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — We are wrapping up the weekend here in the Coastal Bend with warm temperatures and gusty winds. Throughout the week, warm conditions continue ahead of our next cold front, followed by rain.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Increasing cloud cover of the weekend and southeasterly winds allowed more moisture in the atmosphere. This helped with our dangerously dry conditions we've been seeing the past few weeks leading to fire danger weather. Humidity values are improving as well, but will take a slight dip into Thursday with our next cold front. There is a cold front that will try to push towards the Coastal Bend into Monday night but will head north of us. This will kick off a few overnight showers that will pass some of our neighborhoods.
Behind the cold front, we welcome rain back into the forecast! Long awaited and much needed, all of our neighborhoods could use some rain to help alleviate some of our drought. Thursday and Friday present the best opportunity of rainfall for scattered showers and thunderstorms. While this will not be enough rain to pull us out of drought stages, any rainfall helps.
