Dallas is waking up under mostly cloudy skies Sunday, with a feels-like temperature of 59 degrees early and an afternoon high near 72. The city has a 0% precipitation probability Sunday, but showers remain possible south of Interstate 20 and across Central Texas before fading tonight.

Sunday Clouds Give Way To A Warmup

The National Weather Service says light to moderate rain will gradually shift south during the day, with some parts of Central Texas potentially picking up around an inch. Dallas should stay mostly cloudy, with light winds and no watches, warnings or advisories in effect.

The updated setup is a meaningful change from Hoodline’s Saturday forecast, which described Dallas as largely dry. For Sunday, the main local nuisance is extra cloud cover, while communities farther south have a better chance of seeing rain.

Temperatures Climb Through Veterans Day

Monday should turn partly sunny with a high near 73, followed by a warmer Tuesday reaching about 75 degrees. Widely scattered showers are possible Tuesday, but the overall pattern remains mild and mostly dry around Dallas.

Veterans Day on Wednesday is shaping up to be the week’s warmest day, with sunny skies and a high near 80. A cooler turn arrives late Wednesday into Thursday, bringing sunny weather and highs closer to the low 70s before Friday settles near 70.

What To Expect For Outdoor Plans

Sunday plans around Dallas should be workable, though a jacket and some flexibility will help if you are traveling south toward wetter areas. The best stretch for patios, errands and outdoor gatherings arrives Monday through Wednesday, before cooler air returns and overnight temperatures dip into the upper 40s later in the week.
