Dallas rolled into today under sticky, mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures hovering near 73°F and humidity cranking up the discomfort for the morning commute. By afternoon, readings climb into the low 90s, topping out around 91°F, with light east winds around 5 to 10 mph.
Afternoon Storm Chance
Through most of the day, conditions stay partly sunny, but after about 4 p.m., there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters keep the odds of afternoon rain near 20%, with highs near 91°F. Any storm that manages to bubble up could bring brief heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds, though the overall severe threat is still considered low, according to NWS Fort Worth Dallas.
Weekend Rain Outlook
Off-and-on storm chances linger through the rest of the week and ramp up into the weekend, with the most widespread activity currently expected on Saturday. We flagged similar muggy, hit-or-miss setups last week, and this pattern is shaping up in the same neighborhood, as per Hoodline.
What To Know For Your Commute
Saturday still looks like the main day to watch, with about a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, and the potential for heavy rainfall and gusty outflow winds. At publication time, there are no watches or warnings in effect for Dallas, but drivers should keep an eye on radar and allow extra travel time if storms roll in and roads puddle up, according to NWS Fort Worth Dallas.
