Dallas is waking Saturday to clear skies and a crisp start, with temperatures around 50 degrees early in the morning. Sunshine will carry the city toward a high near 69, while north winds run 5 to 10 knots. After Friday’s blustery front, it is a decidedly calmer way to start the weekend.

Cool, Dry Air Settles In For The Weekend

The National Weather Service says cooler and much drier air will remain in place through the weekend, with no meaningful rain expected. Saturday night will stay clear, and temperatures will dip to around 48 degrees before a modest Sunday rebound.

Sunday looks sunny and comfortable, with a high near 72 and only a light southerly wind. There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the Dallas area, making this a solid stretch for errands, patios and outdoor plans.

Temperatures Climb Quickly Next Week

The warmup begins Monday, when Dallas should reach about 75 degrees under sunny skies, followed by 80 on Tuesday and 84 on Wednesday. Thursday is forecast to approach 88 degrees, bringing back the kind of late-season heat North Texans were probably hoping to retire for the year.

Friday is expected to bring highs in the 60s under mostly sunny skies, with no rain expected. That is a substantial shift from Friday’s Hoodline forecast, when strong north winds and a sharp temperature drop dominated the local weather story.
