Dallas is set to bask in the sun today with temperatures climbing to a comfortable high near 73 degrees. Dallas residents can expect a gentle southern breeze to pick up throughout the morning, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. Tonight, the city should enjoy clear skies and a moderate low around 55 degrees, with those south winds persisting around 10 mph, gusting upwards to 20 mph.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, Dallas will see increasing clouds, but that won't stop the mercury from hitting a high near 77. The south wind is anticipated to not only hold steady at 10 to 15 mph but also to possibly show off gusts as high as 30 mph. Tuesday night's sky will only be partly obscured by clouds, with a low temperature settling around 64 degrees and continuing gusts that could ruffle up to 25 mph.
The midweek outlook maintains a trend of rising temperatures girded by mostly cloudy conditions. Wednesday will see highs approaching the low 80s and gentle winds from the south-southeast. By nightfall, clouds will linger as the thermometer dips only slightly to a warmer low near 68, while winds are expected to maintain their pace from 10 to 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph.
Thursday keeps the mostly cloudy theme consistent with another high near 81. However, residents should brace for stronger south winds at 15 to 20 mph, potentially bursting through with gusts up to 30 mph. Thursday night might bring the first signs of wet weather, boasting a 30 percent chance of showers and storms after 2 am. The cloudy veil will hardly lift, as temperatures stay around a 70-degree low and winds hustle from the south-southeast around 20 mph.
Rain gear might be for the end of the week, with Friday promising a 60 percent chance of showers and storms, particularly between 8 am and 2 pm. High temperatures are slated to hover near 82 degrees, although it'll be a breezy day with vigorous south winds at 20 to 25 mph, and some gusts could even top 35 mph. Friday night's outlook cuts the chance of precipitation to 50 percent, with storms expected before 8 pm and wishy-washy clouds keeping it mostly dark above a 71-degree low.
The weekend forecast strings along a similar pattern, with a 30 percent chance of rain on both Saturday during the day and Saturday night. Highs will lean into the mid-80s, with nights remaining balmy around the low 70s. Sunday ups the ante with a 50 percent likelihood of thunderstorms, though there'll be intermittent sunshine poking through the partly sunny sky. Temperatures are predicted to notch a high right around 83 degrees to close the week.
