The National Weather Service predicts a soggy few days for Dallas, with rain and thunderstorms on the forecast beginning today and extending into next week. According to the latest weather outlook, Dallasites should prepare for showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 4 pm today, followed by a likely chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon. Wind speeds are expected to range from 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph.
As the evening approaches, there remains a 60% chance of continued rainfall and possible thunderstorms before 7 pm, followed by a chance of showers and storms between 7 pm and 1 am. Conditions overnight will remain mostly cloudy, with south winds of 5 to 15 mph and gusts reaching 20 mph. The onslaught of rain translates to potential new rainfall amounts of between a quarter and half an inch.
The brief respite from the rain will come on Thursday, with a sunny day in store and highs reaching near 87. However, the clear skies are expected to quickly give way to a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms past 1 am. Friday will bring back stormy weather with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 pm, followed by ongoing precipitation chances into the afternoon.
Heading into the weekend, the chances of rain diminish slightly, with a 40 percent likelihood of additional thunderstorms on Friday night and a minimal 20 percent chance on Saturday before 1 pm. Residents can look forward to a mostly sunny sky on Saturday with highs approximating 76 degrees. Although Sunday night is predicted to be partly cloudy, subsequent days promise more sunshine with highs in the low 80s, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
As Dallas heads into the new week, the pattern of sunny days interrupted by showers persists, with Monday looking mostly sunny, but with a returning 20 percent chance of showers by nightfall. Tuesday's forecast offers a 50 percent chance of rainfall—a coin flip probability of showers and thunderstorms amid mostly cloudy conditions.
