CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Gulf breeze is warm and steady this morning, carrying that faint salt edge across the Coastal Bend. But the pattern will flip fast this weekend as a dry cold front dives south, sending temperatures tumbling nearly 25 degrees and ushering in one of the coolest stretches of November so far.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Saturday will remain pleasant and sunny, with highs in the mid-80s and a gentle southeast wind. Conditions turn sharply breezier late Saturday night as winds swing north and strengthen. Gusts could top 30 mph along I-37 and the Bayfront through Sunday morning, reducing visibility in blowing sand near open fields and beaches.
Sunday’s high will barely reach 75 before the chill deepens into Monday. By sunrise, readings will dip to the upper 40s — a notable drop for early November. The drier air will make mornings feel crisp and evenings ideal for outdoor gatherings, though winds may linger into Sunday night. The north breeze will ease by Monday, leaving clear, cool air that lingers through Veterans Day.
Residents planning coastal travel or boat trips should monitor marine advisories, as rougher surf and small craft conditions are expected Sunday. Those decorating for early holidays or hosting outdoor events will find the next few days ideal for preparation — but should secure light items before the wind shift. The coming front marks the start of South Texas’s late-fall rhythm: mild days, brisk mornings, and hints of the season’s first true cold push from the north.
