Dallas is in for a mild but windy week according to the latest weather forecasts, with temperatures set to hover in the 60s for the most part, and winds picking up speed as the days roll on. Today in Dallas, residents can expect cloudy skies in the morning before conditions clear up with highs around 62 degrees, and a brisk north-northwest wind punching at around 15 mph, and could hit gusts of up to 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

The city's night skies will likely be mostly clear dropping to lows near 40 degrees, the north-northwest winds settling down to a light breeze between 5 and 10 mph. Heading into Tuesday, Dallasites will be treated to mostly sunny skies and a pleasant high of 64 degrees, the calm morning set to give way to a gentle southeast wind coming in at around 5 mph in the afternoon, these details foretold by the latest weather bulletin issued early this Monday morning.

As mid-week arrives, so does a mix of clouds and sun; Wednesday's forecast predicts partly sunny conditions with temperatures peaking around 66 degrees and the south wind ratcheting up a notch with expected gusts reaching heights of up to 20 mph. By Wednesday night, the clouds will gather once more, with thermometers showing a warmer low near 55 degrees and gusts potentially thrashing at a more intense 30 mph, a challenge for late-night commuters and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Thursday will usher in mostly cloudy skies again yet with warm highs approximating 73 degrees, South-southwest winds will maintain their strength at about 15 to 20 mph and gust potentially slamming upwards of 30 mph make it a day for holding onto your hats, this outlook based on predictions from the National Weather Service. As Friday dawns, Dallas might get a sprinkle, with a slim 20 percent chance of showers amid partly sunny skies and highs maintaining at roughly 73 degrees; the west-southwest wind should be a bit more forgiving around 10 mph.

The weekend hints at a continuation of this pattern, Saturday bringing with it a 20 percent chance of showers and a respectable high of 69, which goes slightly down by Sunday as the forecast signals a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms—but still, folks can enjoy mostly sunny skies and highs around 64 degrees, a small mercy in a city accustomed to the capricious whims of nature's reach.
