A weak cold front later this week should finally bring slightly cooler temperatures, with highs dropping into the 80s and lows into the 60s by the weekend.
   

• Obscure American Artists 1956-1963, Teen 293 (blogspot.com) — A little-known doo-wop group from Corpus Christi once sang on local radio and opened at the city's Memorial Auditorium for big-name acts like Fabian.
