Forecasters are noting a 30 percent chance of rain this afternoon, with the likelihood of rainfall jumping significantly as the night falls. "Rain likely, mainly before midnight" is on tonight's menu, along with "patchy fog after midnight." Temperatures will hover around a comfortable yet cloudy 41 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

For those hitting the road early Wednesday, be mindful of reduced visibility due to "patchy fog before 10 am." But the fog should lift to reveal partly sunny skies and a climb to a slightly warmer 55 degrees. Thursday will offer a brief reprieve with mostly sunny conditions and "a high near 57," although showers could reintroduce themselves post-midnight. Residents should note increasing wind speeds, with gusts possibly hitting the 20-mph mark. The back-and-forth between precipitation and clearer skies seems to be a defining feature of Dallas's weather pattern this week, per the National Weather Service.

Friday ramps up the chance for showers to 70 percent, mainly before noon, while those looking forward to the weekend can expect a break with a sunny Saturday on the books. However, a "20 percent chance of showers" threatens to appear by Sunday night, leading into a more definitive forecast for Monday, where "showers and thunderstorms likely" could bring a high near a balmy 65 degrees. Inconsistencies have long been a part of this great state's forecasting mosaic, as the elements dance between sun and rain, as per the National Weather Service.
