Dallas is waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s Wednesday, with sunshine pushing the afternoon high near 85 degrees. Winds will stay light from the northeast, and rain is not part of the forecast. The bigger concern for some residents is air quality, not clouds.

Ozone Action Day Wednesday

The Dallas-Fort Worth area is under an Ozone Action Day Wednesday. Practical ways to reduce ozone pollution include reducing vehicle trips, avoiding drive-through lanes, conserving energy and choosing walking, biking or ridesharing when practical. The National Weather Service forecast calls for clear skies.

The day should be calm and comfortable by North Texas standards, with clear skies continuing into the evening and a low near 64 degrees overnight.

Sunny Stretch Holds Through The Weekend

Thursday and Friday will bring more sunshine, with highs near 87 and overnight lows in the mid-60s. Saturday should stay sunny with a high around 85, while Sunday warms to about 86 under mostly clear skies.

Columbus Day will remain sunny and warm, with a high near 87. Low rain chances are expected to return early next week.
