CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – November warmth keeps its grip on the Coastal Bend this week, with breezy, sunny days pushing highs back into the low 80s through Friday. Light morning haze gives way to clear skies and steady south winds — a pattern that favors outdoor plans but raises caution for dry grass and light debris fires inland.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, south to southeast winds will strengthen by midday Friday, gusting near 20 mph along open stretches of I-37 and U.S. 77. That steady flow continues to draw in Gulf moisture, keeping nighttime lows mild, in the upper 60s to low 70s. By late Sunday, a subtle boundary sliding south from Central Texas could nudge temperatures down a few degrees, offering a hint of the season’s next shift.
No rain is expected through the weekend, but forecasters say an upper trough moving into Texas early next week could trigger the area’s next measurable showers by late Tuesday or Wednesday. Travelers planning early holiday trips should stay alert for changing wind and temperature patterns, especially with models hinting at a brief cool-down before Thanksgiving week.
Residents are encouraged to secure lightweight decorations, check vehicles for fluid levels before longer drives, and stay hydrated in the dry breeze. For now, the late-fall sun remains strong, ideal for yard cleanup or early holiday prep before cooler air slides south.
