Corpus Christi, TX – Warm, salty air drifts across the Coastal Bend before sunrise, and flags along Shoreline Boulevard pull tight in a strengthening south breeze that hints at a hotter stretch ahead. Pavement feels damp from light humidity, and commuters should expect crosswinds on the JFK Causeway and exposed stretches of US-181 through the morning. Residents planning early holiday travel or outdoor prep should use today’s calmer window before winds rise further.
According to the National Weather Service Corpus Christi office, clear skies dominate through the weekend as temperatures climb well above normal. According to forecasters, south winds increase today and again Sunday, with gusts strong enough to challenge high-profile vehicles on the Harbor Bridge. Crews with TxDOT advise drivers to secure loose cargo and stay alert on elevated spans where sudden gusts hit hardest.
According to NWS guidance, Sunday brings the warmest push as highs climb through the low-80s. The air turns sticky, giving the region a late-November tropical feel. Models hint at a pattern adjustment next week as a weak boundary creeps south, bringing a slight chance for showers and a minor cool-down. While Texas remains far from any early winter snow chance, national signals continue building across the Midwest and Northeast, suggesting bigger temperature swings as Thanksgiving nears.
For now, the Coastal Bend enjoys a stable stretch ideal for leaf cleanup, early Christmas light installation, or beach walks before stronger winds return late Sunday. Still, residents traveling north should watch for colder pockets and scattered early-season snow chances developing in states already seeing winter tease conditions this month.
