Dallas residents can look forward to a toasty week ahead, with temperatures climbing high and the sun dominating the forecast. According to the National Weather Service, today's skies will remain sunny in Dallas, with a peak temperature hovering near 80 degrees. An increasing south wind from 5 to 10 mph in the morning will blow stronger by afternoon, reaching up to 15 mph, with gusts that could whip up to 20 mph.

When night falls, expect the clarity of the sky to give way to partial clouds, casting a low near 59 degrees. The breezy conditions will continue, with the south wind blowing steadily at 10 to 15 mph, and these winds have a chance to gust as high as 20 mph. Saturday will be with more sun, increasing winds, and a high of 82 degrees. Gusts will potentially flex their muscles up to 35 mph in the afternoon.

Saturday night will maintain mostly clear skies and a low of 63 degrees. The unyielding south wind will be at it again, ranging from 15 to 20 mph, accompanied by gusts that could reach 30 mph. Sunday's forecast practically mirrors the previous day, with mostly sunny conditions, a high near 84, and gusty south winds around 15 mph that can surge up to 25 mph.

The warmth rolls into Sunday night with cloud cover creeping in and a low of around 66 degrees. The wind, consistently coming from the south, will persist at 15 to 20 mph, and risks unleashing gusts nearing 30 mph. The start of the work week promises mostly cloudy skies with a high temperature close to 82 degrees. The south wind won't take a day off either, maintaining its presence at 15 to 20 mph, with bursts potentially hitting 30 mph. Showers and thunderstorms finally threaten the area Monday night, with a 50 percent chance post 8 pm, as the wind goes full throttle, gusting to 40 mph.

Shower chances will linger into Tuesday morning with a 50 percent probability of thunderstorms before 8 am, clearing out to reveal a mostly sunny day and a high near 86 degrees. The wind will shift southwest at around 20 mph, cranking out gusts that could again escalate to 30 mph.
