Dallas residents are in for a gusty day. The National Weather Service Fort Worth has confirmed that a Wind Advisory remains active until 9 PM CDT this evening. Winds are expected to reach 20 to 35 mph speeds, with potential gusts up to 45 mph. The advisory covers a broad area, including all of North and Central Texas, and comes after a cold front that will shift winds from the south to the west and then to the northwest by Wednesday morning.
Unsecured outdoor items may be blown around in the wind. Driving on area roadways may become difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Small tree limbs may also succumb to the winds and pose a risk of damage. In light of the conditions, residents should take steps to secure loose objects and exercise caution while driving, particularly if operating larger vehicles.
Regarding the general weather outlook, Dallas can expect sunny days ahead, with high temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-80s. According to the National Weather Service forecast, today will be sunny with a high near 67 degrees and breezy conditions prevailing. These winds are expected to decrease overnight but remain gusty, with a low of around 43 degrees projected. Following the advisory period, the weather will stay clear and sunny for the remainder of the week.
Boaters are also urged to heed the Wind Advisory and use extra caution on area lakes due to the likelihood of choppy conditions. While the upcoming weekend promises warmer and mostly sunny weather, Friday and Saturday nights may carry some overnight breeziness, with Southeast winds expected to gust as high as 25 mph. Looking ahead to Sunday, Dallas will experience a slight dip in temperature with a mostly sunny day and a high near 85 degrees, and the pattern of sunny weather with mild evenings is set to continue into the early part of next week.
