Dallas residents will want to keep an eye on the sky and a hand on their umbrellas for the upcoming week as the forecast promises a range of wet weather conditions, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. With increasing clouds and a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight, the unsettled pattern sets in, potentially impacting commutes and outdoor plans.
As reported by the National Weather Service, Sunday's outlook isn't looking much drier with showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 3 pm. Temperatures will hover near 83 degrees amidst a gusty south wind, increasing the chances of precipitation to 70%. As the sun sets, that likelihood only climbs to 80%, bringing more showers and thunderstorms before midnight, followed by a slight chance after 3 am.
Entering the workweek, Monday keeps thunderstorms in the mix, with an even higher chance of rain at 90%. The south wind, slightly weaker but still strong, will accompany new showers and possible storms after 9 am. Transitioning into night, the likelihood of storms remains prominent before 3 am, and showers might follow suit in a mostly cloudy embrace.
Bringing some reprieve, Tuesday's skies are forecasted to clear up, offering mostly sunny conditions with a more comfortable high of 69 degrees, while a tranquil northwest breeze can be felt throughout the day. The serenity stretches into the nighttime as skies remain clear, ushering in a cooler low around 51.
Midweek nuances shift the atmospheric canvas once more; Wednesday holds onto the sunlight with a high near 72. Yet, the return of storms hangs over the night, positing a 40 percent chance of rain and thunder, stirring as the clock strikes past midnight, as per the National Weather Service.
The seesawing weather continues with Thursday and Friday dipping back into the pattern of potential showers and thunderstorms during daylight and dark hours alike. Sunshine struggles through the clouds on Saturday, pushing back against the 40 percent chance of showers from the previous night to herald a mostly sunny high of around 70 degrees.
Apart from keeping track of daily Downpours, the Hazardous Weather Outlook report intensifies concern for the week. "Scattered thunderstorms are expected today and tonight with the best chances across western North Texas," warns the National Weather Service. Locals should also brace for possible flash flooding as heavy rainfall makes its threatening gestures, particularly along the Red River where a Flood Watch is in effect through Monday morning.
