Dallas residents can expect a wet weekend ahead according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth. "Showers, mainly after 3pm," are due today with the temperature hovering around 49 degrees, presenting an 80% chance of precipitation. Those planning an evening out should carry an umbrella, as showers are likely, "mainly before 9pm," with a calm south wind around 5 mph expected to prevail into the night, according to the National Weather Service.

The restful cloak of night gives little reprieve from the rain, with the chance of showers standing at 60% before the clock strikes 9 pm. Yet, the clouds are forecasted to part gradually on Sunday, heralding "mostly sunny" skies and a high near 60 degrees, although the day may begin with continued showers, particularly before midday. The National Weather Service warns commuters of potential "patchy fog after 4am" come Sunday night. A serene south-southwest wind at 5 to 10 mph is on the cards, ensuring the mercury doesn't drop too low, with a predicted low around 49 degrees.

Monday will start with "patchy fog before 10am," but promises to clear up to "sunny, with a high near 67," setting a pleasant tone for the week with steady south-southwest wind transitioning to west-northwest in the afternoon. Looking forward, the weather looks steady as night forecasts predict "mostly clear" conditions and a dip to a cooler 43 degrees, courtesy of a north-northwest wind that could usher in gusts as strong as 20 mph, as per the National Weather Service.

Climbing back up during the week, Dallas shines with an optimistic forecast. With sunny skies and a high plateauing near 54 on Tuesday, the weather will take us on a mild ascent toward the weekend's apex of 68 degrees on Friday. "No hazardous weather is expected at this time," says the National Weather Service, signaling a stretch of clear skies after a misty start to the week. However, spotter activations are not anticipated as per the Hazardous Weather Outlook report.
