Dallas residents are gearing up for a smattering of showers and potential thunderstorms, as the weather swings from sunny to stormy over the course of the week. The National Weather Service predicts that today's mostly sunny skies will give way to a 40 percent chance of rain and thunder after 9 p.m. The temperatures are expected to hover around a comfortable 79 degrees before dipping to 63 degrees overnight.

Things are looking to get wetter going into Thursday, with odds of rainfall and thunder increasing to 50 percent. While gusts could ramp up to a lively 20 mph, the day’s temperatures are set to stay in the relaxed mid-70s range. The evening, however, is projected to be stormier, the chance of precipitation jumping to a definitive 80 percent, indicating a likely wet end to the day for Dallas folks.

The wet conditions are slated to continue up until Friday noon, standing at a 40 percent probability, but the skies should clear up a bit in the afternoon, with temperatures climbing back up to around 76 degrees. The winds remain resilient, potentially gusting as strong as 20 mph, throwing a bone-chilling preview into Friday night's forecast, which anticipates a low of 45 degrees and gusts that could reach 30 mph.

Saturday promises a return to clearer skies with a dose of sunshine and highs near 60 degrees, but don't let go of your hats just yet. The wind is expected to stay strong with gusts again, reaching the 30 mph mark. As the weekend wraps up, Dallas residents can look forward to a calm Sunday with highs in the low-60s and continuing into a sunny start of the next week, reaching up to 70 degrees on Monday.
