Clear skies are on tap for Dallas early Sunday as temperatures hover near 52°F at Dallas Love Field around 5:35 a.m. CDT today. A light north-northeast breeze this morning is expected to strengthen through the day, with afternoon highs near 71°F for a comfortably mild Easter Sunday across the city. Tonight, temperatures dip back to around 50°F, setting up another run of mild evenings through Monday.
Afternoon Gusts Could Rattle Light Things
By this afternoon, north-northeast winds should increase to around 10 to 20 mph with gusts reaching up to 25 mph, especially in more open parts of the metro and along elevated roadways. Drivers of high-profile vehicles may notice a bit of extra sway, and anything lightweight on the patio could take a short trip if it is not tied down, so it is a good idea to secure umbrellas and light outdoor furniture before heading out. This wind guidance comes from the National Weather Service Fort Worth, which is calling for occasional stronger gusts through the midday and afternoon hours.
Week Starts Cool, Then Warms Into Next Weekend
Monday and Tuesday are expected to stay dry, with afternoon highs in the lower 70s, about 73 to 74°F. By Wednesday, readings should bump into the mid 70s, then briefly push close to 80°F on Thursday. A dry post-frontal airmass keeps conditions relatively calm through midweek, offering a solid stretch for outdoor plans, yard work, or a relaxed park walk.
Late-Week Shower And Storm Chances Return
Thunderstorms return to the conversation late Friday, April 10, and linger into Saturday, April 11. The highest coverage is expected Saturday, when scattered storms become possible and overall rain chances tick up. Timing and storm coverage are still somewhat uncertain, but the National Weather Service Fort Worth notes that precipitation odds rise late in the week, so anyone with Friday or Saturday plans should keep an eye on updated forecasts.
How To Plan
Take advantage of today’s sunshine, but bring a light jacket for the cool start and secure any loose outdoor items before the afternoon breeze gets going. For events next weekend, it is smart to have an indoor backup plan or a rain jacket ready, and to check for fresh forecast updates on Thursday or Friday morning.
