Dallas residents are gearing up for a series of stormy days ahead if the latest forecasts are anything to go by. Today, the National Weather Service predicts showers and possibly a thunderstorm before the clock strikes 8 am. Following this, Dallas can expect a chance of more showers and thunderstorms up until 2 pm, with a real possibility of some becoming severe. The high is slated near a mild 67, with a steady north wind around 15 mph, gusting at times up to 25 mph, and chances of precipitation topping off at 100%.
When the sun bows down tonight, a slight chance of additional showers is on the table between 8 pm and 2 am. As strong gusts toss and turn through Dallas, mostly cloudy skies will nestle a low of around 55 degrees. However, thunderstorms will continue to develop along a cold front pressing southward through the afternoon, with central Texas at risk of a few strong or severe ones, warned the National Weather Service.
Rolling into Saturday, clouds and thunderstorms remain the likely companions for the folks of Dallas, with a 60% chance of precipitation and opportunities for rainfall continuing through the evening. Northeast winds will bring more showers and possibly a thunderstorm mainly after 2 pm, with highs near 66. Saturday night's forecast follows suit—showers likely and maybe a thunderstorm before 8 pm, then a chance of it all kicking back up again after 8 pm.
Looking ahead, sporadic showers and thunderstorms might grace Sunday morning, fading into a slight chance of showers up until 2 pm. The day promises mostly cloudy skies and a high creeping up to 69, with the North wind blowing at a mild 5 to 10 mph. In a tantalizing glimpse of the week ahead, Monday swims into view, promising a mostly sunny day with a high nearing 64 and winds continuing their northerly gusto. Despite this respite, the weather outlook keeps our eyes peeled to the skies with the mention of multiple rounds of heavy rain, especially potent in areas already drenched in recent days that could trigger flooding issues.
For those already weary of the wetness, a brief respite seems to signal a partly sunny Tuesday, a high around 68, and south-southwest winds playing at 5 to 15 mph, but the middle of the week roughly drafts a return to wetter ways. Wednesday threads through partly sunny with a high near 69 and Wednesday night teases a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Be prepared for another bout with a 40 percent chance of the same on Thursday and a modest warm-up to 73 degrees.
