The week ahead in Dallas brings a mixed bag of weather conditions, with the National Weather Service Fort Worth forecasting a series of partly cloudy skies and chances for showers and thunderstorms. According to the forecast, Tuesday could see a 30 percent probability of rainfall, mainly post-4 p.m., with a high near 87 degrees. The weather pattern from Tuesday night through Wednesday includes more rain chances—though slight—tapering off before the afternoon.
As we stretch further into the week, the skies clear up with predictions of mostly sunny to sunny days, all the way from Wednesday through Monday. Highs will be climbing from the high 80s and potentially reaching the mid-90s by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Thursday evening's weather is expected to remain clear, with a low around 71 degrees, and a southeast wind close to 5 mph becoming calm after midnight.
In addition to weather updates, an Air Quality Alert has been issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for the Dallas-Fort Worth area for Tuesday, June 11th, citing conditions that may produce high levels of ozone air pollution. Officials call for an Ozone Action Day and suggest citizens can contribute to improving air quality by carpooling, biking, conserving energy, and maintaining vehicles to minimize emissions.
The week also includes a Hazardous Weather Outlook alert, with the potential for scattered thunderstorms to dissipate in the evening, and additional thunderstorms to approach from the west late tonight, and early Tuesday, "The strongest storms could contain some small hail and gusty winds", as stated in the alert issued by the Hazardous Weather Outlook. The hazardous weather could carry on through Wednesday, with a low risk of severe storms but the strength of these storms could bring about other disturbances including heavy rainfall that may, aggravate flooding issues in some areas.
The outlook through Sunday does not call for spotter activation at this time, yet residents are advised to remain vigilant, especially those in areas prone to flooding or other weather-related vulnerabilities. Keeping an eye on the forecast and remaining prepared for quick changes in weather conditions is always a good practice in these uncertain atmospheric times.
