Dallas is starting today on the sticky side, with a mild, mostly clear morning in the mid-to-upper 60s and plenty of humidity. That will not last. A strong cold front is set to barrel through tomorrow, trimming afternoon highs from the mid-70s back into the mid-60s and flipping winds to the north with a noticeable punch. Light, scattered showers could develop late in the day, but most neighborhoods will see only a trace to a few hundredths of an inch.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
As the front slides through, winds will swing from the southwest to the north during the afternoon, with sustained speeds of 5 to 25 mph and gusts that could reach 35 mph by late afternoon and evening. Shower chances stay on the low side, about 20 to 30 percent, and any rain that falls looks light. No watches or warnings are in effect at this time, according to NWS Fort Worth.
Weekend Outlook
Cooler, cloudier weather hangs on through Saturday, with highs mainly in the low 60s and some spots staying socked in with overcast skies into the afternoon. By Sunday, skies clear out and temperatures bounce back into the 80s, with little to no rain expected through the start of next week.
Plan Ahead
Look for a breezy Friday afternoon commute, with gusty crosswinds that can make life difficult for trucks, trailers, and high-profile vehicles. It is a good idea to secure patio furniture and any loose items that might take flight.
