CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Monday!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Dense fog likely on Tuesday morning
- Fire danger improving, but still a threat
- No rain this week
- Rain looks more likely next week
With temperatures cooling overnight, expect fog to develop before midnight. Visibility will likely drop to fractions of a mile for many neighborhoods, so allow for extra time on Tuesday morning for that morning commute. Once the fog clears, another warm afternoon awaits. The sky will be a sun/cloud mix as moisture gradually rises this week. Humid conditions are a good thing, though! Dry, breezy afternoons mean elevated fire weather conditions. More humidity will help to reduce that risk (slowly) over the next few days. Highs remain in the middle 80s with patchy fog during the morning hours.
Unfortunately, there's no meaningful rainfall in the forecast through this weekend. Warmer-than-usual temps worsen the drought by giving a small aid to evaporation at our area lakes. But, hold out hope— indications for late-March rainfall continue to look promising. It's too far ahead to be very confident, but long-range guidance continues to suggest rain may return as early as next Tuesday! I'll keep an eye on the outlook.
