The forecast in Dallas looks wet and murky as residents can expect a series of showers and thunderstorms rolling through the area for most of the week. Today's outlook features showers mainly before the afternoon with a high nearing 44 degrees, while an east wind shifts north, bringing with it potential precipitation stretching between half an inch to three-quarters of an inch, according to the National Weather Service.

Tonight, Dallas will see a 30 percent likelihood of showers and thunderstorms after the late hours of 3 am along with a persistent widespread fog, and while the northeast wind is expected to be calm, the temperature will hover around 42 degrees, now tomorrow's going to see possible thunderstorms with stubborn patchy fog, and the mercury is predicted to hit a high near 53 with those chances of rain not stopping at a full 100 percent, bringing possibly 1 to 2 inches of additional rainfall.

For those looking beyond today, Tuesday night forecasts indicate a strong probability, 60 percent to be exact, of showers and potential thunderstorms before midnight, shifts between midnight and 3 am could see changes, post-midnight, and then again a chance of showers trailing into the early morning hours; temperatures at night are expected to drop to roughly 49 degrees with a kindly north wind turning west southwest as the evening wanes.

Midweek, Wednesday figures to bring a 50 percent chance of continued showers and storms, and though mostly cloudy, the high could peak near 60 degrees amid a mild north breeze, the remainder of the week, including Thursday and Friday, seems to be playing a similar tune, with mostly sunny breaks contrasted by a recurring possibility of rains and thunderstorms leading into the weekend wherein the forecast predicts partly sunny skies by Saturday with highs topping out in the mid-50s.
