The hustle and bustle of Dallas life may see a bit of an interruption this week as weather patterns roll in, signaling a mix of sun and storms. According to the National Weather Service, residents can expect a 20 percent chance of rain clearing by early afternoon today, giving way to clearer skies with highs touching 70 degrees, with a light south breeze of 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight, the stars should shine brightly over Texas' busy metropolis, as the forecast predicts mostly clear skies and a comfortable low around 51, though those evening winds will continue to blow from the south-southeast at a steady 5 to 10 mph. While Tuesday might start partly sunny and reach a warmer 75 degrees, those ever-present southern winds are set to pick up the pace to 15 mph, gusting as high as 25 mph, potentially putting outdoor plans in jeopardy and it's only going to get windier as the week progresses.
Midweek brings a blend of typical Texas heat and the threat of unwelcome showers, with Wednesday slated to be mostly sunny with the mercury rising near 83 degrees, albeit with persistent south winds at 15 to 20 mph and some gusts reaching 30 mph, according to the National Weather Service. That evening's tranquility may be short-lived, as the forecast calls for a 20 percent chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms after 1 am, under partly cloudy skies with a low around 65.
Thursday threatens to bring real tumult with an 80 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post 1 pm, though temperatures will stay high at 78 degrees, the wind remains insistent from the south at roughly 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph, and as the night falls, the likelihood of storms remains at 70 percent – some even capable of unleashing heavy rainfall – while temperatures dip to a cooler 56 degrees, the switch in wind from south southeast to north northwest could offer a respite from the previous gusts. Rounding out the week, Friday's forecast suggests a 40 percent chance of rainfall and potential thunderstorms with highs near 68 and continuing robust north-northeast winds, but the weekend outlook softens slightly with cloudy conditions and highs in the upper 60s, hinting at a Sunday that may see more sun than the storm.
