The Dallas area is set to experience a variety of weather conditions in the coming days. The forecast indicates a gradual transition from mostly cloudy skies today to a bright and sunny afternoon with a high near 83 degrees. Winds from the south southeast at a calm 5 to 10 mph will accompany today's weather changes. As the evening approaches, there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with increasing clouds and a low around 65 degrees, and an east southeast wind around 10 mph, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Tonight's hint of a drizzle is just a teaser for what's to come: Friday carries a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1 pm, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph. The wet trend continues into Friday night with a bolder 90 percent chance for showers and potentially heavy thunderstorms, heavy rainfall with accumulations between 1 and 2 inches are on the table, according to the weather forecast.
As we look ahead to the weekend, showers and thunderstorms appear almost certain on Saturday, boasting a full 100 percent chance. A slight chill enters the fray, high temperatures near 74 degrees paired with a steadfast south wind around 10 mph. Saturday night moderates with a 60 percent chance of more showers and thunderstorms before midnight, then chances persisting sporadically until morning. The blanket of clouds is set to part by Sunday, however, making way for a mostly sunny day with a high near 77 degrees and light winds that start north and switch south by afternoon.
Entering into the new work week, Dallas residents can look forward to a consistent stretch of pleasant weather. From Sunday night through to the middle of the week, the sky should stay predominantly clear. Balmy evenings with lows hovering in the 50s will give way to sunny days, the warmest of which is Monday nears 80 degrees and a comfortable breeze from the south southwest. By Wednesday, the high settles at a cooler 69 degrees. Each of these days, forecasters predict, should be sunlit canvases of blue, free from the commotion of the previous wet and tumultuous weekend's weather.
