Corpus Christi, TX – Residents across inland South Texas are urged to prepare for a hard freeze tonight as temperatures are expected to drop well below freezing through early Sunday morning, prompting both a Freeze Warning and Cold Weather Advisory across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, temperatures will fall below 32 degrees beginning around 10 p.m. Saturday and remain below freezing until approximately 9 a.m. Sunday. Forecast lows could reach 24 degrees, with wind chills as low as 18 degrees, particularly in the northern Brush Country and Victoria Crossroads.
The Freeze Warning covers much of the Inland Coastal Plains and Brush Country, including areas near Laredo, Cotulla, Tilden, Freer, Alice, Beeville, and Victoria. Some locations could experience 8 to 12 hours of freezing temperatures, increasing the risk of damage to exposed pipes, plants, and sensitive infrastructure.
A Cold Weather Advisory is also in effect for parts of La Salle, McMullen, Live Oak, Bee, Goliad, Victoria, and inland portions of Refugio and Calhoun counties, where prolonged cold and dangerous wind chills may pose health risks to people and pets.
Officials recommend residents take immediate precautions, including:
- Bringing pets indoors
- Covering or bringing in sensitive plants
- Dripping faucets and insulating exposed pipes
- Limiting prolonged outdoor exposure overnight
Temperatures are expected to gradually rebound after sunrise Sunday, but officials warn additional cold mornings may follow early next week.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service and local emergency management as conditions evolve.
