Dallas is waking up under a stubborn gray blanket today with temperatures stuck in the mid‑50s and a cool northeast breeze that feels more like late winter than early spring. Expect it to stay mostly cloudy through the day, with a high near 60°F and only a small chance of light drizzle into the afternoon. The headline, though, is the fast flip on the way: by Sunday and early next week, highs are set to jump well into the 80s.
Sun And Warmth Return Sunday
According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth, sunshine makes a comeback Sunday, sending highs to around 83°F. Monday cranks it up further to about 86°F, and by Tuesday, readings climb into the upper 80s as south winds strengthen.
The NWS does not expect any measurable rain through Monday, a solid window for outdoor plans. Daily storm chances creep back in Tuesday night into Wednesday, however, as the pattern turns more active again. Southerly winds on Sunday will blow around 5–15 mph, then ramp up early next week, with some afternoons seeing gusts in the 25–35 mph range.
Winds And Tuesday Night Storm Risk
Those strengthening south winds on Monday will not only help turbocharge the warmup, they could also make things a bit blustery for high‑profile vehicles and any outdoor setups. Forecasters say the best shot at showers and thunderstorms arrives late Tuesday into the evening.
While much of next week starts out on the dry side, isolated strong storms are possible when the front and dryline come together.
Plan Ahead
There are no watches or warnings in effect this morning, but the weekend warmup and early‑week gusts are still worth a little prep. Secure loose patio furniture, tents, or decorations now, and have an indoor backup plan for Tuesday night if you are counting on being outside.
Keep an eye on local forecasts and make sure phone alerts are turned on in case any watches or warnings are issued later in the week. In the meantime, enjoy the brief stretch of sun and warmth Sunday and Monday before the stormier pattern noses back in Tuesday night.
