Dallas is easing into the week with mild, mostly sunny weather, morning lows in the 60s, and an afternoon high near 79 on tap today. South winds are keeping things on the humid side, and temperatures are set to jump into the 80s by tomorrow. The quiet stretch is short-lived, though, with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected from Tuesday night through the weekend, and some of those storms could be on the stronger side.
What To Expect This Week
Today stays breezy at times but dry overall, with highs topping out around 79 and south winds around 5–10 mph. Tomorrow, temperatures climb into the low-to-mid 80s, and gusts may reach up to 30 mph as the atmosphere gears up for increasing showers Tuesday night. By Wednesday, showers and thunderstorms become more likely, with a roughly 60% chance of rain and a risk for hail and damaging winds, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
Timing And Impacts
The most widespread thunderstorm activity is anticipated from Wednesday into Thursday, with additional rounds possible on Friday and stronger chances developing over the weekend. Where storms train or stall, heavy downpours could trigger urban flooding and cause water to pool on low-lying roads. Local coverage has also flagged the likelihood of several wet episodes across North Texas over the coming days; for more context, see The Dallas Morning News.
Commute And Outdoor Plans
If you have outdoor plans, try to knock them out early in the week before storms become more frequent, and keep rain gear handy from Tuesday night onward. Expect gusty south winds tomorrow and Wednesday that could make driving high-profile vehicles a bit unsteady, and steer clear of flooded roadways. Keep your phone set to receive emergency alerts and check the latest forecast before heading to evening events later in the week.
