Texas – Cool air drifts in from the Gulf this morning, brushing the coast with a crisp edge. In Corpus Christi, palm fronds rustle under light north winds as temperatures sit near 40 degrees, cool enough to slow early beach walks and morning commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, skies stay mostly clear to partly cloudy today, allowing highs to climb toward the upper 50s. Winds gradually turn east, then southeast, keeping humidity low and conditions dry. Roads remain clear, but bridges and elevated causeways can feel slick during the coolest hours.
Across the country, winter remains active. Cold air pouring over the Great Lakes continues to generate lake-effect snow through Friday, while snow spreads across parts of the Northern and Central Plains. At the same time, Pacific storms bring rain and mountain snow into the Northwest, adding pressure to long-distance travel routes.
Closer to the Coastal Bend, the pattern stays quiet but breezy at times. Thursday turns warmer, with highs reaching the mid-60s as southeast winds pick up. By Friday, a stronger north wind returns, knocking highs back into the mid-50s and sending temperatures down into the upper 30s by evening. Plan for a cooler feel near the water, especially along Padre Island and the Harbor Bridge.
Saturday brings sunshine but cooler air, with highs near 50 and a noticeable breeze. By Sunday, conditions ease again, with temperatures recovering into the upper 50s. For now, light layers work best, and boaters should watch changing wind directions.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks show colder air shifting east next week while the Southeast warms sharply into early February. How does the coastal chill compare where you are this morning?
