Dallas is waking to clear skies and temperatures near 66 degrees Friday, but the city is headed for a much warmer afternoon with a high around 93. The forecast stays dry and mostly sunny through the weekend, while an Ozone Action Day puts air quality on the radar for North Texas.
Sunny Weekend Brings More Heat
The National Weather Service expects clear skies Friday night, with temperatures falling to about 66 degrees. Saturday should reach 90 under full sunshine, followed by another 90-degree afternoon Sunday, when south winds could gust as high as 25 mph.
Warm Weather Holds Through Wednesday
Monday remains sunny with a high near 90, while Tuesday and Wednesday climb back toward 92 degrees. Southerly winds will increase early next week, but rain chances remain minimal until the middle of the week.
A chance of showers returns Wednesday and continues Thursday as the pattern turns more unsettled. The broader forecast discussion also points to a likely cold front next weekend that could finally bring cooler temperatures to the region.
Ozone Action Day Calls For A Little Planning
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued an Ozone Action Day for Friday, with sunny skies, warm temperatures and light winds creating conditions that can raise ozone pollution. The Texas environmental agency recommends carpooling, avoiding drive-through lanes, conserving energy and keeping vehicles properly maintained to help limit emissions.
For outdoor plans, the best bet is an early start before the afternoon heat builds. Otherwise, sunny skies and temperatures near 90 are in the forecast—pleasant for pool days, less so for anyone hoping fall would arrive on schedule.
