Dallas residents can expect to swiftly adjust their weekend plans as weather forecasts indicate a mix of sun and storms. According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth TX, today in Dallas will be partly sunny, with temperatures reaching a high near 79 degrees and gusts hitting upward of 30 mph. Tonight, though, there's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 4 a.m., with winds slightly decreasing in intensity.

The weather outlook for the coming week suggests that North and Central Texans should prepare for an unsettled period. The National Weather Service has announced a probability of isolated thunderstorms late Saturday, with primary threats including lightning, potential small hail, and gusty winds. As Sunday rolls in, skies will become sunny again, with a high near 80 degrees, calming any remaining concerns from the previous night's disturbances.

However, the tranquility is expected only to be temporary, as storm chances will increase Monday afternoon into the late evening. Several days into the week could see severe weather, particularly Monday evening through overnight, with a 90% chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm on Tuesday. "Heavy rainfall will be possible through the midweek, especially east of I-20, which may cause some minor flooding issues," warns the Hazardous Weather Outlook report.

While the National Weather Service is not expecting to need to activate spotters at this time, they have placed residents on alert for potentially hazardous conditions. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and to prepare to take necessary precautions should the forecasted severe weather manifest. The latter part of the week suggests a clearer outlook, with a 20 percent chance of showers on Thursday and a sunny high near 78 by Friday, providing some respite from the tumult of the week's earlier storms.
