Dallas is starting today on the mild and breezy side, with patchy morning clouds giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 81°F. Morning readings sit in the upper 60s, and south‑southeast winds of 5–15 mph will turn gusty through the afternoon. Any patchy fog in low‑lying spots should lift by mid‑morning.
Afternoon Gusts And Rising Humidity
By later today, winds will ramp up into the 10–15 mph range with gusts up to 25 mph, and even stronger gusts are possible Tuesday as the southerly flow cranks up. Humidity will climb compared with last week, so it will feel a bit muggy, but that added moisture also helps tamp down the fire‑weather risk despite the warm temperatures.
Midweek Storm Risk
Tuesday is on track to be the hottest of the stretch, with highs near 85°F, before a system drops in late Tuesday night and drives widespread showers and thunderstorms into North Texas on Wednesday. Showers and storms are likely Wednesday into Wednesday night, and the National Weather Service warns some storms could be strong to severe with hail or damaging wind gusts. Widespread rain into the weekend also bumps up the chance of localized flooding where heavier totals stack up, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth. If you have outdoor plans from midweek on, keep a close eye on updated forecasts.
Plan Ahead
Take advantage of the warm, mostly dry weather Sunday through Monday, but keep plans flexible later in the week, especially for anything outdoors from Tuesday night into the weekend. It is a good idea to secure patio furniture this afternoon, keep a rain jacket handy for midweek commutes, and stay alert for any watches or warnings as forecasters fine‑tune the system's timing and coverage. Local emergency and road alerts will be your best guide if heavier rain targets your neighborhood.
