CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Good morning and Happy Friday Coastal Bend!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Clouds this morning and temps in the upper 60s
  • Sunny and breezy this afternoon in the 80s for highs
  • More pleasant this weekend with highs around ~80F and plenty of sunshine
  • Increased fire danger through the weekend

As we get ready to close out the final full week of March we're looking at another warm and breezy Friday afternoon. Tonight we'll have a cold front arrive around the midnight time frame that gives us a brief opportunity for a few light showers in western neighborhoods, but rainfall totals will likely be minimal. We'll wake up a little cooler tomorrow around the 60F mark before we warm up towards 80F for the afternoon high.

Going into next week we're back on the warm up with winds returning from the southeast by tomorrow evening. Temperatures should be back to the mid 80s by Tuesday with the upper 80s as we head into Wednesday and Thursday. Luckily next week also brings more promising rain chances just outside of the seven day forecast going into Thursday and Friday. Currently we're sitting around a 30-40% chance as it works in, but with so much time to go the forecast will be sure to change either way.
