Weather Briefing
MVFRCorpus Christi International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 25,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 12 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 22 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Haze. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Haze between 02:00Z and 05:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Corpus Christi International Airport
Overview
Corpus Christi International Airport serves the coastal region of South Texas, located in Nueces County near the Gulf of Mexico. As a medium-sized airport with two paved runways, it supports regional commercial, military, and general aviation operations. The airport's low elevation of 44 feet MSL and coastal positioning make it an important transportation hub for the Corpus Christi metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 79.8% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Southeastern winds are consistent, averaging 9.1 knots and rarely exceeding 31 knots. Temperature variations range from 0°C to 36°C, with September through November offering the most stable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate occasional reduced visibility, with fog present in 7.1% of observations and visibility dropping below 3 statute miles in 1.2% of reports.
Notable Features
Both runways (13/31 and 17/35) offer excellent wind coverage, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns and potential wind shear. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport provides consistent approach and departure environments with minimal terrain complications.
Approach Considerations
With prevailing southeastern winds at 135 degrees, runway 13/31 and 17/35 both offer manageable crosswind conditions averaging between 4.7 and 5.1 knots. Pilots can expect stable approach conditions during the most favorable months of September, October, and November. The long runway lengths (7508 ft and 6080 ft) provide ample landing and takeoff options for most aircraft types.
