Corpus Christi, Texas – A Wind Advisory across South Texas could bring gusts up to 45 mph tonight.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, a strong cold front moving through the region will produce noticeably gusty northerly winds behind the front, prompting the advisory for much of the area.
The advisory is scheduled to begin 10 p.m. Sunday and continue until 11 a.m. Monday, with conditions potentially lasting until 1 p.m. Monday for coastal barrier islands.
Forecasters say sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected, with peak gusts reaching as high as 45 mph across parts of South Texas.
The strongest winds may create dangerous crosswinds on west-to-east oriented roadways, especially for high-profile vehicles such as trucks, vans, and RVs, the weather service said.
Residents are also advised to secure loose outdoor objects, including patio furniture, trash bins, and decorations that could be blown around by the stronger winds.
While the advisory primarily highlights wind hazards, the gusty conditions are expected to follow the passage of a strong cold front moving through the region Sunday night.
Drivers traveling overnight or during the Monday morning commute may encounter difficult driving conditions, particularly on exposed highways and bridges.
The alert covers all of South Texas, including communities along the Coastal Bend and inland counties.
For students and early commuters, the gusty winds could still be present during the Monday morning travel period.
Officials encourage residents to stay updated through local forecasts and be cautious while traveling during the advisory period.
