Dallas is looking at sunny skies and a high near 87 degrees Thursday. Rain is not expected, and the calm, warm setup should make for easy outdoor plans.

Thursday winds are forecast from the east-northeast at 5 to 10 mph. The night should remain mostly clear, with a low near 64 degrees.

Warm, Dry Pattern Holds Through The Weekend

Friday’s high will be near 88 degrees, followed by a clear night near 67. Saturday dips to about 85 degrees, while Sunday reaches near 87 with south winds of 5 to 10 mph.

The National Weather Service’s climate normals use the 1991–2020 period, as described on its climate normals page. The agency’s climate record for the area dates to 1898, providing a long baseline for comparing today’s warm stretch with the region’s typical fall temperatures.

The forecast extends a sunny, mostly rain-free stretch already outlined in a Tuesday Hoodline forecast. Rain chances remain at or near zero through the weekend.

Small Rain Chances Return Next Week

Columbus Day on Monday should reach 88 degrees under sunny skies, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 84. Wednesday stays mostly sunny near 87, while overnight lows gradually warm into the low 70s.
