The forecast for Dallas in the coming days seems to be a tumultuous mix of sun, clouds, and potential storms. Today's weather is expected to be mostly sunny, reaching a high near 87 degrees, with gusts of wind that could climb up to 30 mph. Moving into the evening, the skies will turn mostly cloudy, though the temperature will remain relatively warm with a low around 67 and sustained southern winds, according to the National Weather Service.
Taking a quick shift, Friday introduces a 20 percent chance of rain in the afternoon and the potential for thunderstorms come nighttime, where the likelihood of precipitation jumps to 40 percent. That chance of showers rolls over into the weekend, with the weather service predicting a 70 percent chance of rain on Saturday, and an 80 percent chance Saturday night. Those showers may linger into Sunday with thunderstorms also possible in the afternoon, but the odds are cut to a 50 percent chance as the system begins to clear, giving way to a mostly sunny day with highs near 76.
The beginning of next week offers reprieve from the wetter conditions. Monday is expected to be sunny with a comfortable high of 79 degrees. Though clouds roll in at night, the skies should remain dry. It's not until Tuesday that rain chances surface again with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, which intensify to a 60 percent chance by Tuesday night.
The wet weather pattern is forecast to persist through the middle of the week, with Wednesday heralding showers likely and a possible thunderstorm, with the temperature reaching a high near 81 degrees. With such a dynamic forecast, residents and visitors in the Dallas area might want to keep their umbrellas close at hand and stay attuned to any weather updates.
