Dallas residents can expect a swing of weather conditions throughout the week, per the forecast from the National Weather Service. Today, people in the area will be treated to clear skies with the mercury rising to a pleasant 68 degrees, accompanied by a light northern breeze shifting east later in the day. However, as the evening rolls in, the clouds will gather, bringing the temperature down to around 56—indicative of a temperamental Texas spring.
Those headed out on Sunday should plan for cloud cover and a bit of wind, as conditions are set to deteriorate. The winds are predicted to not only change direction but also to strengthen significantly, coming from the south-southeast at speeds up to 20 mph—and that's before the gusts that can reach upwards of 35 mph. The daytime high will hover around the 70-degree mark. "Sunday NightShowers are likely and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly after 2 am," according to the National Weather Service. These turbulent conditions will persist, leading to a 70% chance of showers and storms into Monday morning.
The skies on Monday will continue to be mostly cloudy with ongoing chances of showers and thunderstorms until the afternoon. Temperatures will peak at about 73 degrees, with south winds still making their presence known, gusting as high as 20 mph. By Monday night, the likelihood of storms drops, but the wind doesn’t fully subside, switching from the west-southwest and potentially gusting to the same speeds.
Tuesday offers a respite from the rain with sunny skies predicted and a more modest high around 61 degrees—a quiet before another possible round of showers midweek. Winds remain persistent out of the north, though they are losing some vigor, with gusts still hitting the 20 mph mark. "Wednesday has a 30 percent chance of showers, mainly between 8 am and 2 pm," states the National Weather Service. As Wednesday night approaches, the chances of rain drop off again, and partial cloudiness brings the low down to around 46 degrees.
The latter part of the week steadies as Thursday welcomes back clear skies and a jump in temperature to a comfortable 72 degrees. The nighttime sky will be only partly cloudy, with a low settling in at 55. Friday looks to be the warmest day of the week, with a forecast of mostly sunny weather and a high near 78—hinting at the warmth that one expects as spring fully asserts itself in Texas.
