Dallas is set to dance with a medley of weather patterns in the coming days. Dallas' forecast starts with a hazy morning, moving into potential showers and a thunderstorm by late Friday. Locals will wake to patchy fog before the 9 am buzz, but it should clear up, revealing partly sunny skies with highs flirting with 60 degrees. A gentle westerly wind is expected to grace the city with a soft touch at around 5 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight, the fog will attempt an encore after midnight, setting the stage for an overcast low around 46. The wind, taking a cue from the southwest, will keep things light until it swings east-southeast by daybreak. A 30 percent chance of rain is lurking around midday Friday with the mercury tipping at a moderate 62 degrees. The National Weather Service cautions that visibility may be reduced to around one mile at times due to the persistent fog. As the day folds into night, Dallas folk should keep their rain gear handy with showers likely before midnight and a possibility of thunderstorms trailing off after.
Weekend warriors can look forward to a shift on Saturday when the clouds hang mostly heavy, and the high dares not exceed 54. Wind from the west-northwest plans to show off gusts rocketing as high as 30 mph. This breezy affair cools to a partly cloudy night, dipping temperatures to a brisk 37 degrees.
Sunday promises a reprisal of the sun with daytime highs rebounding to a pleasant 58, and the wind, not to be outdone, will whip up gusts that could reach 20 mph. The clear evening sky will ease into an overnight low of about 35 degrees. The new week kicks off on a sunny step, soaring to near 64 by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook, potential hazards on the horizon include "a final round of thunderstorms expected Friday and Friday night, primarily across North Texas." While severe weather is considered low risk, residents should be aware of the possibility of strong storms featuring small hail and gusty winds. Flooding conditions, currently subdued, could rise again with the advent of additional heavy rainfall.
As always in Texas, the weather remains a tempestuous friend – generous with sunshine but always holding a storm in her back pocket.
