Dallas residents can expect a mix of cloudy skies and potential rainfall over the next week according to the latest weather forecast. The intermittent showers are due to arrive mainly after midnight on Friday and will persist, with an increasing likelihood of thunderstorms, throughout the weekend. The National Weather Service projects a 30 percent chance of rain Friday night, with chances surging to 80 percent for Saturday and 60 to 70 percent likelihood for scattered showers and thunderstorms continuing into Sunday.
The outlook for Dallas as we head into the weekend signals a need for umbrellas and rain boots, weather forecasts show increasing clouds on Friday with a high near 51 degrees, then as the clouds further amass and the calm winds persist, showers are expected to follow, especially significant after Saturday noon. Temperatures over the weekend are set to hover in the mid-to-high 40s, creating a consistently overcast and damp environment for any outdoor activities.
By Sunday, the forecast suggests some respite is on the horizon with a high near 61 degrees alongside possible thunderstorms, but conditions aren't expected to clear up until Sunday night when the skies start to part towards a mostly clear state. Following this bout of inclement weather, a pleasant change is anticipated to begin the new week with sunny skies on Monday and a desirable high of 68 degrees that should carry over into largely clear nights and mostly sunny days through to Thursday.
While the weekend may yield inconvenient weather for those planning outdoor escapades, warmer and sunnier days are forecasted to follow, the Dallas area will start the week with sunshine and mild winds, and a high of 68 is predicted for Monday with south-southwest winds making a turn to the west-northwest in the afternoon, could that signal the end of the weekend's dreary conditions. As per the weather projections, next week promises to manifest almost an ideal, markedly Texan winter, characterized by sunshine during the day and cooler temperatures after sunset, setting the stage for what locals might perceive as a return to the state's characteristic winter tide normalcy.
