Dallas is bracing for a wet week ahead as weather forecasts predict a series of showers and thunderstorms will roll through the area starting today. The National Weather Service reports a high of 81 degrees Fahrenheit with south-southeast winds transitioning to northwest as the day progresses. Showers and thunderstorms are expected, mainly after 10 a.m., with a 90% chance of precipitation. Residents can expect new rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches, with the potential for higher amounts in certain areas.
This evening, Dallas will continue to experience volatile weather, with showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 10 p.m. The skies will stay mostly cloudy as temperatures dip to around 66 degrees. The likelihood of rain does not seem to dwindle, with a 60% chance of precipitation and new, lesser rainfall amounts predicted. The remainder of the week appears to be a continuation of the unstable weather patterns — Friday ushers in a 30 percent chance of showers and storms, primarily after lunch hours, with a gradual increase in temperature.
Heading into the weekend, the forecast doesn't look promising for clear skies either. Saturday has a 50% chance of precipitation, mostly after 10 a.m. The unpredictable weather pattern appears to persist into the night, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10 pm, then possibly between 10 pm and 1 am. Sunday, however, offers a glimpse of reprieve with a mostly sunny forecast and highs peaking near 86 degrees.
Nevertheless, as the new week begins, Monday might start on a cloudy note with gusty winds, and by nightfall, the arrival of showers and thunderstorms seems imminent. Tuesday and Wednesday are no strangers to this trend. Both days boast a 60% chance of rain, with thunderstorms likely, keeping the theme of showers and thunderstorms consistent. The temperatures will remain in the mid-80s for highs and mid-60s for lows, emblematic of a typical Dallas spring weather rollercoaster. The detailed forecast can be easily accessed on the National Weather Service website.
