Dallas is waking up Saturday, October 31, under a gray sky with a few lingering showers, but the forecast is giving Halloween plans a break: rain should taper by midday and most trick-or-treating hours look dry. The city is headed for a high near 76 degrees, with mainly southeasterly to easterly winds at or below 5 knots and humid, mostly cloudy conditions.
Morning Showers Should Clear Before Halloween Festivities
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service puts the best chance of rain before 10 a.m., with rainfall totals generally below a tenth of an inch. Clouds may stick around through the afternoon, but temperatures should sit in the upper 60s to lower 70s around sunset, with light winds helping keep Halloween night manageable.
That is a notable improvement from earlier forecast uncertainty. As Hoodline previously reported, showers were expected to affect the morning, and the newest update continues to push the wetter weather out before peak trick-or-treating hours.
Patchy Fog Possible Sunday Morning
Saturday night will remain mostly cloudy, with a low near 64 and patchy fog possible after 1 a.m. Sunday should bring a brief break from the unsettled weather, with partly sunny skies and a high near 82 before temperatures ease slightly during the afternoon.
Warm And Windy Monday Leads Into Storms
Monday will be warmer, with a high near 85 and sustained south winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts around 30 to 35 mph. Showers and thunderstorms are expected Monday night into early Tuesday, with an 80% chance of precipitation and wind gusts up to 35 mph.
Forecasters describe the severe-weather risk as low but nonzero, with strong or damaging wind gusts the main concern if storms organize along the advancing front. No watches or warnings are posted for Dallas at this time.
Tuesday Turns Cooler And Breezy
A few showers could linger into Tuesday morning before skies become mostly sunny. The high should reach about 77 degrees, followed by a cooler night near 55 and sunny, seasonable weather Wednesday with a high around 75.
