Dallas is in for a streak of classic Texan weather, with the National Weather Service forecasting a sunny today with a high edging towards the mid-80s. South winds will keep things interesting, blowing at a steady clip of 10 to 15 miles per hour, capable of gusts punching up to 25 mph. Even as night falls, the city won't get much of a reprieve from the wind, with partly cloudy skies and continued gusts of the same intensity, as the mercury dips to around 59.
As residents plan their weekends, Sunday promises a mostly cloudy morning that's poised to clear up, giving way to sunshine with highs hovering near the low 80s. Those south winds refuse to sit still, maintaining a 15 mph pace with the occasional 20 mph outburst. And looking towards Sunday night, Dallas skies will model mostly cloudy looks, as the temperatures settle into the mid-60s, with that same south wind providing consistent gusts.
The start of the workweek won't mark much of a departure from this pattern, with Monday flirting with partly sunny conditions and a high reaching 81. Those south-southwest winds keep blowing through the city, not quite ready to let go of their presence at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph. Come Monday night, Dallas might catch some weather drama, as slight chances of showers and thunderstorms are on the cards—the odds are low, but present, at 20 percent—while temperatures head back down to an evening low around 58.
According to the National Weather Service, the outlook for Tuesday through Thursday sees Dallas basking in mostly sunny and clear conditions, with daytime highs consistently at or near the 80-degree mark and nightly lows drifting into the pleasant upper 50s to low 60s. However, as Wednesday evening rolls in, the chance of showers and thunderstorms could mark the scene at 50 percent, possibly washing away the midweek monotony.
The possibility of rain showers remains well into Friday, with the forecast hinting at a 30 percent chance of precipitation under partly sunny skies, while temperatures are expected to take a slight tumble, scaling back to a high around 69. Dallasites may need to keep an umbrella close at hand toward the end of the week, as those thunderstorms possibly continue to put on an atmospheric ballet, pirouetting in and out of forecast probabilities.
