As the temperature in Dallas climbs, residents are preparing for a sweltering week ahead. The National Weather Service's forecast, which can be seen on their website, shows that today's partly sunny skies come with a high temperature tipping near 92 degrees, and things are only getting hotter from there.
Tonight's mostly clear skies and a steady south wind of 5 to 10 mph, lead into an even warmer Saturday, where Dallas will experience highs nearing 94 and a heat index pushing into the low triple digits, the service predicts come nightfall, temperatures will only marginally drop to a low around 76 degrees, making for a balmy evening under mostly clear conditions, though the south wind will persist at a gentle 5 to 10 mph.
For those hoping for a break from the heat, Sunday may tease with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 pm but don't expect the mercury to drop significantly; forecasts show it will remain mostly sunny with a high near 93 degrees, and the nighttime sky should remain mostly clear with a low settling around 77.
The start of the week won't offer any respite from the high temperatures or clear skies, Monday is anticipated to be mostly sunny with highs climbing to about 94 and Monday night will follow the established pattern, descending into mostly clear skies embodied with a lukewarm low around 77 degrees, while a south wind keeps the air moving at around 10 mph, on Tuesday we can expect more sun and even higher temperatures that could reach up to 95 degrees, with south wind gaining strength, gusting as high as 20 mph and leading into another mostly clear night with temperatures hovering around 77 degrees.
As for the midweek forecast, Dallas should get ready for sun-soaked skies and daytime heat that could nearly achieve 96 degrees, the night will only slightly cool down to a low of about 78 and looking ahead to Juneteenth, the celebration will likely be a warm one under mostly sunny skies with high temperatures expected to be around 95 degrees according to the forecast.
