Dallas residents can expect a mix of sunny and cloudy skies this week, along with a chance of showers as the week progresses, according to the latest forecast. The National Weather Service predicts clear conditions to start, but those looking to enjoy the outdoors should keep an eye on potential weather shifts.
Starting off, the forecast for today indicates a mostly sunny day with a pleasant high around 64 degrees. Light winds will later edge to become south southeast at 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Come evening, the skies will turn to partly cloudy with temperatures dropping to a low near 49, and a consistent south wind at 5 to 10 mph. As the week begins, Monday will see warmer conditions with a high near 73 and southern gusts reaching up to 25 mph. Monday night's skies will go to be mostly cloudy as the temperature stays moderate with a low around 55.
Continuing into Tuesday, the sun is set to make a return, pushing temperatures to a high of 77 degrees, accompanied by a light westerly wind. The nighttime picture shifts slightly to partly cloudy, the thermometer not expected to fall beyond 51 degrees, and calm winds set to take a southwesterly direction at about 5 mph. Midweek forecasts predict partly sunny conditions on Wednesday, with a high targeting the high-70s once again. However, by Wednesday night, a significant 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms makes its entrance, and a mostly cloudy cover will set the low at around 56 degrees under southerly winds.
For those planning to venture out later in the week, Thursday brings with it a slight chance of rain and a potential mix of thunderstorms after noon; the day remaining partly sunny and highs near 71. This will, however, clear up moving into Thursday night, leaving mostly clear skies with the temperature dropping to a brisk low around 46. The forecast, published by the National Weather Service website, projects a sunny Friday with highs dipping back into the lower 60s, and Friday night temperatures going down to about 39 degrees. The weekend outlook is clear sailing with Saturday scheduled to be sunny and reaching a high near 60 degrees.
Residents and visitors alike should therefore prepare to dress accordingly for the fluctuating temperatures this week. While the days are largely set to be sunny and warm, the evenings could bring a chill to those out and about in Dallas. With the possibility of midweek showers and thunderstorms, it's advisable to keep an umbrella close at hand for any sudden changes brought on by the Texas weather.
