Today, Dallas woke up to patchy fog and light rain, with temperatures hovering around 60°F and mist cutting visibility in some low-lying spots. The damp roads and murky sightlines are likely to slow a few morning commutes, so building in a little extra drive time is not the worst idea if you are heading out early.
Fog should thin, and clouds will begin to break by midday, letting highs climb into the upper 70s, around 77°F, with southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph. A slight chance of brief showers will linger through the morning before most areas dry out. Isolated showers or a lone thunderstorm could still develop east of I-35 this afternoon, though widespread rain is not expected, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Southerly winds stay on the lighter side today but are forecast to strengthen later in the week, with gusts possibly reaching 25 to 30 mph on Thursday and Friday. That is strong enough to send unsecured patio furniture scooting across the yard and make a bike ride feel like a workout in place. If you have outdoor plans this weekend, keep a backup option in your pocket.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Pockets of dense fog are most likely where drizzle stayed away and in river valleys, but many neighborhoods should see sun by early afternoon as clouds scatter. If you are out in the murk, use low-beam headlights in fog, ease off the gas on wet roads to cut down hydroplaning risk, and give yourself a little extra time for errands this morning.
Weekend Watch
Beyond today, forecasters say the pattern becomes more unsettled later this week, with an increasing chance for strong, possibly severe storms Friday into the weekend, especially along and east of I-35. If you have outdoor events circled on the calendar, keep an eye on official updates and any watches or warnings as the week rolls on.
