Last night, severe thunderstorms moved through the Coastal Bend. Those storms originated to our north and grew upscale into what's called a mesoscale convective system (a line of storms) as it came through. Sections of the line bulged and bowed forward as strong winds from within the storm rushed down to the surface. These are the winds that caused numerous power outages and damage across parts of the Coastal Bend.

Tomorrow night, there's something really cool happening in the sky - a total lunar eclipse! Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and Moon, so that the Moon is eclipsed by Earth's shadow. In the case of a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is completely within the darkest part of the Earth's shadow.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — We'll see heightened fire danger again tomorrow. Another dryline will move through the Coastal Bend tomorrow morning and afternoon ahead of a cold front. This will significantly drop humidity levels across the area - specifically in those communities behind the dryline (to the west). In addition to the low humidity levels and drought conditions, inland winds will become breezy again at 10-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — There is a Weather Impact Alert issued for Thursday due to a very strong cold front. Temperatures will be much colder for Thursday afternoon compared to Wednesday. You'll definitely want to be layered up. Afternoon temperatures on Wednesday were in the upper 80s. Thursday afternoon will likely only reach the low- to mid-50s for most locations, courtesy of the front and lingering cloud cover behind it. It will also be windy tomorrow, especially in the morning.

Dry air can cool off quicker than humid air - it can also heat up a lot faster, too. The relatively dry air tomorrow will let morning temps start in the upper 50s/low 60s, but also allow afternoon temps to soar into the 90s. https://t.co/43ovskJpHB
I wouldn't be surprised if a few of these dates are replaced in the coming week. Currently, the highest temp I have forecast for Corpus Christi is 97°F on Tuesday. https://t.co/gbBhofgUOu
Did you miss summer? (No, I did not.) We'll challenge multiple record high temperatures across the Coastal Bend this week. Tuesday looks to be the hottest day this week, but feels-like temperatures will be hotter a little later in the week as humidity builds up. https://t.co/lJRabVLce6
