Dallas started today on a chill note, with clear skies and official observations at Dallas Love Field near 61°F. The morning stays sunny and calm before the thermostat heads for the mid-80s this afternoon, making it warm but still mostly comfortable. Light east-southeast winds will help keep humidity in check, and no widespread rain is expected through midweek.
This Week: Heat Cranks Up, Winds Follow
By mid- to late-week, highs climb back into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Tomorrow is expected to top out near 88°F, while Thursday and Friday could nudge into the low 90s. South winds pick up on Thursday into Friday, with sustained speeds of 5–15 mph and gusts reaching 25–30 mph. Those gusts could toss around lighter outdoor items and will make it feel even hotter as a ridge builds over the Plains, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
Plan Outdoor Time Before The Afternoon Sizzle
Morning errands, dog walks, and workouts should stay fairly comfortable, but the early to mid-afternoon hours will bring the day’s peak heat today and through the week. If you are outside between about 1 and 5 p.m., plan on extra water and sunscreen. Outdoor workers should be ready for increasingly hot afternoons and slightly warmer nights as the week wears on.
Storm Chances Sneak Back In This Weekend
A dryline and a passing disturbance could spark a slight chance of showers and storms on Saturday night, with better odds late next Sunday into next Monday. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely next Monday, and anyone banking on outdoor plans should keep an eye on updated forecasts as details on timing and intensity are refined, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
No watches or warnings are in effect for the Dallas area this morning. If you have evening events or travel lined up, check the NWS page and local media before heading out. Updates will be issued if any watches or advisories are posted.
