Dallas started today on the bright side, with clear skies, a light south breeze, and temperatures near 64°F. By this afternoon, that calm vibe gives way to a warm, windy setup, with a high near 83°F and gusts that will have much of the Metroplex feeling downright blustery.
Afternoon Winds Whip Across The Metroplex
South winds will run around 10 to 15 mph this afternoon, but gusts could spike up to 35 mph. That is enough to send unsecured patio furniture scooting across the yard and make bridges and open stretches of road feel choppy. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should plan a little extra time and stay alert for sudden gusts during the afternoon commute. These wind details come from the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
Hotter Tuesday With A Conditional Storm Setup
Tomorrow, temperatures jump into the low 90s, with a high near 92°F and a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms developing from mid to late afternoon. A cold front dropping into the region late tomorrow could help fire up scattered storms tomorrow night into Wednesday. Any storms that manage to form near and east of I-35 could bring strong to severe winds or hail, though forecasters stress this is a very conditional setup. That conditional severe risk and timing are detailed in the NWS forecast discussion.
How To Prep Before The Front Arrives
Secure loose outdoor items before this afternoon’s gusts kick up, and be ready for a blustery drive home. If you have outdoor plans tomorrow afternoon, line up an indoor backup in case storms pop. Keep phones charged, keep an eye on local alerts, and for background on this evolving pattern, check out our blue skies before storm threat. We will post updates if any watches or warnings are issued.
