CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Fall sunshine will dominate the Gulf Coast this weekend, but a subtle shift is coming by Sunday. Warm, dry air will hang on through Saturday, perfect for outdoor events and Halloween cleanup. However, a weak front sliding south late Saturday could bring a brief round of coastal showers before drier, cooler air returns to start November.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Saturday will see highs near 80°F with breezy west winds turning easterly by afternoon. Late in the evening, isolated showers and a few rumbles of thunder may develop north of Highway 44 as the front drops toward the coast. Rain chances stay near 30%, mainly before midnight.
By Sunday, skies clear again, and a crisp north breeze will knock highs back to the mid-70s. Gusts could reach 20 mph at times, especially near open water and over the Harbor Bridge. Boaters and beachgoers should use caution with shifting winds and light chop building on the bay.
As the calendar flips to November, mild, sunny conditions dominate early next week. Monday and Tuesday bring highs in the upper 70s under mostly clear skies—ideal for early holiday decorating or yard cleanup before a stronger front arrives later next week.
Residents should secure lightweight Halloween decorations Friday night, keep an eye on changing wind directions Saturday evening, and plan for slightly cooler mornings heading into Sunday and Monday.
