Dallas starts Monday under low clouds before a warm, partly sunny afternoon, with strong thunderstorms forecast to sweep across North Texas overnight. Temperatures will climb toward 87 degrees before the weather makes a sharp turn after dark.
Warm, Windy Monday Before The Front
Partly sunny skies are expected during the day, with southerly winds sustained at 15 to 20 mph and gusts of 25 to 30 mph. Patchy fog is possible elsewhere across Central Texas early Monday, while Dallas is expected to be partly sunny through the afternoon.
Storms Arrive Monday Night
Storm development may begin across the region late Monday afternoon, with coverage increasing around sunset. The main line of showers and thunderstorms is expected near the Interstate 35 corridor around 11 p.m. The National Weather Service Fort Worth says damaging wind gusts will be the main concern, though large hail and a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
Storms could bring locally heavy rain as they move quickly east, with possible localized flooding. The timing is more defined than in Hoodline's Sunday forecast, with storms now expected to continue into the early Tuesday morning commute.
Tuesday Brings A Cooler Reset
The storm line should clear the area around 8 a.m. Tuesday, leaving behind a slight chance of a morning shower before skies turn sunny. Highs will reach about 74 degrees, while northwest winds could gust near 25 mph.
Sunny Weather Returns Midweek
Tuesday night will be mostly clear with a low near 55. The workweek is expected to be largely quiet, with Wednesday highs mainly in the lower and middle 70s and Friday highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s; a system is expected to cross the Plains late Thursday into Friday. The weekend is expected to bring mostly dry conditions and near-seasonal temperatures.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently in effect for Dallas. Residents should secure loose outdoor items Monday afternoon and keep a way to receive weather alerts nearby once thunderstorms begin developing.
