Patchy low stratus is present in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex Thursday morning, and cloud cover will thicken as the warmth continues, with a small chance of showers later in the day. The high should reach about 83 degrees before a wetter, cooler pattern settles in for the Halloween weekend.
Thursday Stays Warm Before Showers Arrive
Mostly cloudy skies will build across Dallas Thursday, with south-southeast winds around 5 to 10 mph. Showers may spread toward the airports during the afternoon, with a 20% chance of precipitation and temperatures in the low 80s.
Thursday night should remain cloudy with a low near 66 and only a slight chance of showers. The National Weather Service says the first round of rain should be modest, with no flooding concerns expected.
Friday And Saturday Look Cloudier For Halloween Plans
Friday brings a noticeable cooldown, with cloudy skies, a high near 77 and a 30% chance of rain showers. Rain chances rise to about 40% Friday night as temperatures fall toward 63 degrees, making umbrellas a useful accessory for anyone heading out.
Saturday, Halloween, should stay mostly cloudy with a high near 78 and a 40% chance of showers. The latest forecast is a substantive update to an earlier Hoodline forecast: showers are now expected to taper by late afternoon, leaving most Halloween evening activities with a better chance of avoiding a total washout.
Sunday Rebounds Before A More Active Monday
Sunday looks warmer and quieter, with partly sunny skies, a high near 82 and a slight chance of rain Sunday night. The calm may be brief, however, as Monday is forecast to be mostly sunny with a high near 82 and southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph.
Monday night currently carries a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, and forecasters say some strong storms could be possible as a cold front approaches. The timing and severity remain uncertain, but Dallas has no active watches, warnings or advisories at this time.
