Weather Briefing
VFRCorpus Christi International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 17 knots with gusts to 26 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual 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.
