Dallas residents are bundling up as a coat of cold air descends upon the city, promising a mix of partly sunny skies and frigid temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, today's high will struggle to reach 28 degrees, with wind chill factors making it feel as if it were between -3 and 7. Gusts of north-northwest wind are expected to blow through at speeds of up to 20 mph, keeping the chill firmly in place, according to the National Weather Service.
The night promises little reprieve, with clear skies and a forecasted low around 15 degrees, and wind chill values hovering between 6 and 11. The scant north-northwest wind is set to calm down, providing a temporary stillness to an otherwise biting week.
Midweek outlook gets a gradual warm-up; Wednesday looks sunny with a more comfortable high near 44 degrees. But don't be misled by the sun—mornings will still feel cold, with wind chill values between 6 and 16, accompanied by gusts of south wind as high as 25 mph, as per the the National Weather Service.
Stargazers will appreciate the mostly clear conditions Wednesday night, with just a touch of a breeze from the south wind clocking in between 10 and 15 mph. Those gusts, however, could peak up to 25 mph. And while Thursday is sunny with the thermometers tipping near 56 degrees, a wind shift in the afternoon reminds us that winter has not yet said its last word.
As the week draws to a close, Friday’s skies remain unobstructed by clouds and, the daily high, though sunny, will be a chilly 36 degrees. For those planning their weekends, Saturday offers sunshine with highs near 39, turning to a mostly cloudy evening, while Sunday's weather covers Dallas in more clouds with temperatures approaching 43, reported by the National Weather Service.
Dallas should brace for showers to start the following week, with a 30 percent chance of rain Sunday night escalating to a 70 percent likelihood on Monday. Temperatures will rise to a high near 53, a respite from the cold, but with noticeably higher chances of precipitation.
