Dallas is gearing up for a rollercoaster of weather this week, as sunny skies are set to give way to thunderstorms. Today, Dallas residents can revel in a comfortable 71 degrees and light winds, but don't ditch your layers just yet — things are about to change, according to the National Weather Service.
The mild breezes will persist through the evening, keeping the thermometer reading a steady 44 degrees, but tomorrow, those North Texas skies will stay clear as the temperature hovers back around 71 with some northwest winds kicking in 5 to 10 mph, the service foresees a similar pattern for Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures dipping slightly on Hump Day to 67 and inching back up the next, although the wind will pick up a notch thrusting gusts up to 20 mph.
But don't let the midweek calm fool you. Friday brings cloud cover and precursor breezes with highs near 66 degrees. As the weekend approaches, conditions will take a wet turn. Starting Friday night, Dallas has a forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after midnight.
Come Saturday, residents should brace for potential thunderstorms as the probabilities skyrocket to 80 percent; the final cap to the week leaves a 40 percent chance of more storms into the night. And while the rain may taper off by Sunday, it's not time to stow your umbrella, with a lingering 20 percent chance of showers amidst a cooler 56-degree high, according to weather service prognostications.
