Dallas rolled into today, under clear skies and mild morning air, with temperatures starting in the mid-50s and a springlike afternoon on tap. Highs are expected to climb to about 79°F, with only a slight chance of brief rain showers between roughly 9 a.m. and noon. South winds should stay light around 5 mph, and the unseasonably warm pattern is expected to hang on through much of next week.
Morning Sprinkles, Warm Afternoons
A few spotty showers could slip through late in the morning, but most of the city will stay dry, and any rainfall totals should be negligible. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70s, then ease back only a few degrees into the mid-70s later in the day, with southerly breezes near 5 mph. According to the National Weather Service, this is the current timing and precipitation setup.
What To Expect This Week
Warm weather hangs on into early next week, with highs near 81°F on Monday and in the upper 70s on Tuesday. Forecasters say scattered light showers are possible Tuesday into Tuesday night, with most areas picking up under a tenth of an inch, while wind gusts could reach about 20 mph. The extended outlook hints at another system late in the week that may boost rain chances and pull temperatures closer to seasonal levels, according to the NWS forecast discussion.
Grass Fire Precautions
With warm afternoons and pockets of low humidity, forecasters have flagged a localized elevated grass-fire threat this afternoon west of I-35. Residents are urged to skip open burning, avoid leaving any yard fires unattended, and keep equipment that could send sparks into dry grass away from vegetation. If you spot smoke or a grass fire, call 911 and notify local fire authorities.
Bottom Line
Expect a mostly dry and warm Sunday with only brief, spotty morning showers. The first meaningful shot at measurable rain arrives Tuesday night. Anyone with outdoor plans later in the week should keep an eye on updates from the National Weather Service.
