CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The early morning air feels calm and soft, a light salt breeze drifting from the Gulf. Palms barely move, and the sky glows pale before sunrise — a brief calm before another stretch of unseasonable warmth along the South Texas coast.
Today’s high reaches near 80°F, with mostly sunny skies and gentle southwest winds near 15 mph. By Thursday and Friday, temperatures climb even higher, peaking around 85°F, as warm Gulf air builds inland. It’s a great window for outdoor plans, fishing, or early holiday errands — though gustier winds later this week could cause rougher surf and choppy coastal waters.
By late Saturday, winds begin turning north, and a cooler air mass slides toward the coastal bend. Highs dip into the upper 70s by Sunday, with brisker northeast breezes reaching 20–25 mph near the bayfront. This shift won’t bring rain but will signal a noticeable change from the humid warmth that’s held most of the week.
Looking beyond the weekend, early models suggest a stronger cold front may approach by Veterans Day, dropping highs into the upper 60s — a potential first hint of true November weather for coastal Texas. For now, though, the week stays calm, bright, and dry — ideal for early travel or cleanup before the cooler pattern arrives.
