Dallas residents can expect a temperamental forecast, with thunderstorms and potentially severe weather conditions over the next few days. According to the National Weather Service, today brings a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 pm, with a blustery high near 80 degrees and south winds that could gust as high as 25 mph.

Tonight, the chance of precipitation ramps up to 60 percent with showers and thunderstorms likely, particularly between 8 pm and 11 pm. Some of these storms "could be severe," the National Weather Service cautions, threatening hail and damaging winds. Temperatures will dip to around 58 degrees as winds shift from south to north, potentially gusting to 20 mph.

As the weekend approaches, Friday maintains a 50 percent likelihood of showers and thunderstorms under mostly cloudy skies, and similar conditions persist through Saturday. Every day brings its roulette of potential precipitation, with daytime highs fluctuating around the upper 60s and nighttime lows in the lower 50s. By Sunday, shower chances diminish slightly, though a consistently cloudy trend prevails until Monday's promise of mostly sunny skies.

Echoing this restless pattern, the Hazardous Weather Outlook from the National Weather Service forecasts "scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe," for today and tonight. The primary concerns are large hail and damaging wind gusts, with "isolated tornadoes also possible northeast of the Metroplex." This unsettled pattern is slated to persist, with further strong or severe storms possible Friday through the weekend, potentially "reaggravate flooding issues" in already saturated areas.
