As we inch closer to the end of the year, Dallas residents can expect a mixed bag of weather conditions according to the National Weather Service. Today, the forecast promises a sunny sky, with a pleasant high near 61 degrees and a south wind fluttering at 5 to 10 mph, though, it may very well experience gusts reaching up to 20 mph.
The clarity of today's sky, however, will soon make way for increasing clouds tonight, as temperatures dip to around 50. The south-southeast wind will maintain a pace near 10 mph, with similar gusts as high as 20 mph. The transition is just the prelude to a week of fluctuating weather patterns, designed to keep all who dwell in the region on the edge of their seats, and their umbrellas close at hand.
Drizzle is forecasted to make an appearance after noon on Monday, beneath a mostly cloudy dome of sky with a high creeping up to 66. The south-southeast wind will persist, hardly wavering from the 10 mph mark and maintaining its gusty behavior up to 20 mph. As night falls, there is a slight chance for drizzle before midnight, then a greater chance of showers afterward into the early hours of Tuesday with the chance of precipitation being about 40%.
For those dreaming of a clear, bright Christmas, the week's forecast may be a bit disheartening. Showers, with the potential for a thunderstorm, are likely before noon on Tuesday. The odds tilt slightly in favor of drier conditions in the afternoon, but showers could still emerge, descendent from the mostly cloudy heights above, the south wind shifting west post-noon. The chance of precipitation looms at a notable 60 percent, as confirmed by the National Weather Service.
As night takes over once again on Tuesday, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms drops before 9 pm, plunging further still to a meager 20 percent chance between 9 pm and midnight. With Christmas Day around the corner, forecasts hint at partly sunny skies with a moderate high near 65 and a gentle north-northwest wind switching southeasterly as the day unfolds. This brief respite will precede another 30 percent chance of showers late on Wednesday night, leading up to a Thursday that could see more showers or even a thunderstorm before midday.
Finally, the week concludes with a sunny Friday and the potential for a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday night. Saturday maintains that 20 percent chance of showers, but under what should be a mostly sunny sky, with a comfortable high near 65. As we prepare for the week ahead, it seems the weather in Dallas will give us a little bit of everything, just in time for the holiday season.
