Dallas starts Sunday with a temperature around 75 degrees early in the morning, but the afternoon will feel more like summer than late September. The high should reach 96 degrees before isolated showers or thunderstorms are possible later Sunday afternoon and evening across North Texas.
Rain chances remain limited Sunday, at about 20% in Dallas, though areas along and west of Interstate 35 have a better shot at seeing storms. Any storms that form could bring lightning, gusty winds and small hail. Scattered thunderstorms are possible across North and Central Texas, but a severe-weather highlight was not warranted.
Ozone Alert Runs Through Sunday Evening
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is under an Ozone Action Day through 6:45 p.m. Sunday as warm, mostly sunny conditions favor higher pollution levels. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality recommends combining trips, avoiding drive-through idling and choosing walking or biking when practical.
Sunday night brings a lower chance for showers and thunderstorms than Sunday daytime, although rainfall totals should generally stay below a tenth of an inch. Monday will be as warm as Sunday, with a high near 96.
Rain Chances Increase Tuesday
Rain chances begin increasing from west to east Tuesday night into Wednesday.
The forecast turns wetter around Tuesday night and Wednesday. The National Weather Service Fort Worth says beneficial rainfall is possible, though confidence in specific amounts and the heaviest-rain area remains uncertain.
Cooler Weather Moves In Late Week
Temperatures decline later in the week, while low rain chances continue into the latter half of the week.
