| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 511pm CST Wednesday Jan 7 2026 Issued at 1219pm CST Wednesday Jan 7 2026 A windy afternoon is in store for the Coastal Bend. This trend will continue through the overnight hours and thus limiting our chances for fog tonight and into Thursday morning. For this reason as well, a Small Craft Advisory has been issued for Thursday across all marine zones. We will still keep the stratus deck by the morning commute, but should see the stratus break up by Thursday afternoon. This will allow high temps to reach the upper 80s and even low 90s across the Brush Country with the cooler shelf waters keeping temps in the 70s along the immediate coastline. The threat of fog (inland/sea) returns Friday morning with calmer winds ahead of the long awaited cold front. The front is still expected to move through the Brush Country Friday afternoon and reaching the coastal waters by Friday night (with another Small Craft Advisory likely needed after the cold front for the strong offshore flow and 7-10 ft seas). This results in one last day of highs in the 80s (though not quite as hot as compared to Thursday). The first real breath of (checks calendar...) winter will be on Saturday morning where temps will be in the 50s and sort of linger there for the remainder of the day with cloudy skies. The air will be sufficiently dry enough across the Brush Country to limit rain chances with the overrunning pattern, so any rain that accumulates will be limited to the coastline and across the Rio Grande Valley Saturday night. Sunday morning will be even cooler with temps dropping into the 40s across South Texas with temps climbing back to below-normal values (upper 50s/low 60s). This pattern will continue through Wednesday morning. Marine Issued at 1219pm CST Wednesday Jan 7 2026 A fresh to strong onshore flow with seas increasing to 5-7 ft overnight has prompted a Small Craft Advisory for all marine zones through Thursday evening. Winds decrease on Friday while remaining onshore with seas moderating to 4-5 ft. A cold front passage late Friday night/Saturday morning will result in offshore flow returning to Small Craft Advisory conditions again through the remainder of Sunday (winds returning to strong strength and seas increasing to 7- 10 ft). Daily rain chances return on Saturday (20-40%). Fire Weather Issued at 1219pm CST Wednesday Jan 7 2026 Our next cold front is slated for Friday ushering in minimum relative humidity values below critical levels as low as 22-30% across most of South Texas on Saturday and as low as 15% on Sunday afternoon. Sustained winds on Saturday are forecast to range from 15- 20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph and weaker on Sunday. The Energy Release Component ranging from 60-65th percentile should limit fire weather concerns to elevated at best. However, this is something that will need to continue to be monitored as slightly stronger winds than forecast could increase the threat to critical fire weather conditions. NOAA Corpus Christi TX Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories TX...None. GM...Small Craft Advisory from 6am to 6pm CST Thursday for GMZ231- 232-236-237.
