Corpus Christi, TX – Coastal South Texas residents can expect a breezy weekend as southeast winds strengthen across Corpus Christi on Saturday, October 24, with gusts potentially reaching 25 mph.

According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies, an afternoon high near 81 degrees and southeast winds of 11 to 20 mph. The stronger gusts could be noticeable for residents spending time along beaches, waterfront parks and other exposed coastal locations.
