Hello Coastal Bend Residents!

As the Coastal Bend area basks in some record-breaking temperatures, there’s a new face on your television screens that’s ready to help you navigate the weather! Diamond Dickson, hailing from the bustling city of Houston, has joined the team as a meteorologist. She’s not new to the game, having previously worked as a morning anchor, MMJ, and producer at a sister station in Bryan/Waco/College Station. Now, she’s all set to bring her expertise to our local =kris6?> viewers.

Temperatures on the Rise!

This week has been nothing short of a scorcher with temperatures soaring into the mid to upper 80s across the Coastal Bend region. If you’re in the inland communities, prepare for highs flirting with the upper 80s. Coastal folks aren’t left out either, as they’re enjoying the delightful mid 80s. While it’s toasty outside, patchy fog rolled in last night. If you’re driving tonight, keep your eyes peeled; it’s expected to make an encore appearance.

What’s Next?

Hold onto your hats, Coastal Bend, because a cold front is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday! This front is set to give us a slight respite from the warmth by dropping high temperatures by about 10 degrees. As if that weren’t enough, brace yourselves for another cool down of another 10 degrees just in time for New Year’s Day. It looks like there’s a bit of a chilly streak ahead, which is a welcome change for many!

Keeping It Dry

Despite the shift in temperatures, there’s no rain on the horizon with this cold front. So for those who planned outdoor activities, conditions should remain dry for a bit. For today, the forecast predicts a pleasant high of 88ºF with a southerly breeze of 10-15 mph, gusting up to 20 mph. Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with patchy fog creeping back in after midnight, dipping down to a low of 57ºF.

Join Us for a Sunny Tuesday!

Don’t turn that dial just yet, as tomorrow’s weather brings promise! Look for patchy fog in the early morning giving way to sunny and windy conditions with a high reaching about 76ºF and gentle northwesterly winds. It’s going to be a delightful day, so maybe a light jacket will be all you need!

Critical Traffic News

Stay Safe, Stay Mindful

Due to the fog conditions expected in the region, dense fog advisories have been issued for much of Southeast Texas through Wednesday morning. Be extra cautious while driving out there, as visibility might dip below a quarter-mile in some areas. But fear not, as the cold front will sweep through, clearing out the fog and leaving us with afternoon temperatures in the lower 70s moving into the middle of the week.

Looking Ahead

As we look towards Thursday, things will feel much more seasonal with temperatures starting in the 40s and peaking between 64-66 degrees. Meanwhile, next week hints at warmer and wetter conditions leading right up to Christmas Day, where we could see temperatures soar to 75 degrees with morning lows around 60 degrees. There’s even a slight chance of showers, especially for those areas near and south of Interstate 10.

In conclusion, enjoy the warmth while it lasts but get ready for the cooler days ahead. Tune in to see Diamond Dickson keep you updated on all things weather-related!
