Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend are settling into a quieter and increasingly warmer weather pattern following the passage of a recent cold front, according to the National Weather Service. Cooler temperatures will briefly linger overnight, but a noticeable warming trend is expected to begin by midweek and continue through the weekend and into early next week.
Friday will feature mostly sunny skies with afternoon temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the lower 70s, providing a comfortable end to the workweek. Overnight lows will dip into the lower to upper 50s, marking the coolest period before warmer air returns. By Saturday and Sunday, highs are expected to climb into the mid-70s to lower 80s across much of the region, including Corpus Christi, Kingsville, Alice, and surrounding inland communities. Overnight temperatures will also trend milder, generally settling into the upper 50s to mid-60s.
The warming pattern continues into Monday and Tuesday, with daytime highs reaching the mid-70s to mid-80s under partly cloudy skies. Winds will remain generally light and variable, contributing to calm and pleasant conditions both inland and along the coast. Rain chances remain low through at least early next week, allowing for dry weather favorable for outdoor plans, travel, and holiday activities.
Along the beaches, conditions are expected to remain relatively calm, though officials remind residents and visitors that a low rip current risk does not mean zero risk. Anyone entering the Gulf waters should remain cautious, especially during periods of changing tides or increasing onshore flow.
Overall, the forecast points to a stretch of tranquil and unseasonably warm December weather for the Corpus Christi area. With sunshine, mild winds, and above-normal temperatures expected to persist, residents across South Texas can look forward to several days of comfortable and cooperative weather heading into the holiday period.
