Dallas residents are in for a mix of sun and storms this week, with the National Weather Service (NWS) advising of potential hazardous weather conditions. The city today may face a 30 percent chance of early showers and thunderstorms before the skies clear up for a sunny afternoon, with highs nearing 87 degrees. The south wind is picking up as well, reaching gusts of up to 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

As night falls, it's back to mostly cloudy conditions, with lows hovering around 69 degrees and steady south winds. Wednesday brings patchy morning fog, then cloudy skies with temperatures again peaking at 87. The evening is slated, to stay mostly cloudy, with a low near 69 and a gentle south-southeast breeze.

Thunderstorm probabilities ramp up to 40 percent on Thursday and Thursday night mainly before 2 am. The heat continues with a high of around 89 degrees, while the night's temperatures are expected to drop to near 64. Friday will see a slight dip, to a cooler 77 and a decreased 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, as a north-northeast wind picks up, pushing gusts to as high as 20 mph. The weekend outlook isn't looking much dryer, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation both Saturday and Saturday night, potentially heavy, at times.

In a Hazardous Weather Outlook issued early this morning, the NWS Fort Worth TX warned of a "low chance for thunderstorms today generally east of the I-35 corridor," noting that "frequent lightning and small hail will be possible with a few of the storms." As we head into the weekend, the risks escalate with the pending cold front, bringing the potential of "strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail" on Thursday afternoon and evening. Looking ahead to the weekend, it's not just the hail but also "heavy rainfall which could result in localized flooding," indicating a wet and potentially turbulent close to the week.
