The Dallas area is bracing for a mix of sunny spells and potential storms. While the week began with partly sunny skies and high temperatures, residents should prepare for a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4 pm today. The mercury is set to approach a high near 89 degrees, with south winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph, and gusts that could reach up to 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight's forecast takes a stormier turn, where showers and thunderstorms are likely, mainly occurring between 1 am and 4 am. The change in weather comes with the potential for new rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches, adding a 70% chance of precipitation to the mix. After the thunderstorms ease off, there might be a brief reprieve Wednesday morning with a 30 percent chance of rain mainly before 7 am, followed by mostly cloudy skies and cooler highs around 83 degrees. Amidst the uncertainty, temperatures won't be making much of a retreat, firmly settling with lows hovering in the low 70s.
Looking further ahead into the week, the skies are expected to clear up again. Thursday's outlook is partly sunny with a high near 89 degrees, and a south wind around 5 mph. "Mostly cloudy" is how Wednesday night is shaping up, accompanied by a low around 72 and calm winds after a northeast breeze. Friday and Saturday are both set to bring more sun, highs climbing to the low to mid-90s, and only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before the weekend is out.
Sunday's weather could be a replay of the earlier part of the week with another 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. The day, despite the possibility of wet weather, will remain mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 91 degrees. According to the forecast, the same pattern holds for Sunday night, with increased clouds at night and a slightly cooler low around 72 degrees. Shifting into the new week, Monday maintains a consistent rhythm, with a forecast predicting a 30 percent chance of rain and a high once again near 91 degrees, signaling a distinctly warm and unsettled spell for Dallas residents.
