Morning convection should die off after sunrise, before afternoon heat pushes the city toward 97 degrees. The heat index should be only a few degrees above the air temperature, so the day may feel more like high summer than early fall.

Wednesday Forecast: Dry in Dallas

Light northeast winds will become more easterly, and Dallas has a 0% precipitation probability Wednesday. The National Weather Service says isolated showers and thunderstorms are more likely west of the city, where any storm could bring gusty winds, brief heavy rain and lightning.

Little Relief Before Next Week’s Rain Chances

Thursday has negligible rain chances and a high near 95, while Friday is about 10 degrees above normal. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Saturday and Sunday.

Rain chances may return early next week, with cooler, closer-to-normal temperatures possible around the middle of next week.
