Dallas is getting a brief taste of easy fall weather Wednesday, with clear skies around sunrise, a high near 73 degrees and no rain in sight. The calm stretch will last through Thursday before another cold front sweeps in and knocks weekend temperatures into the 60s.
Sunny Wednesday Sets Up A Warm Thursday
As of early Wednesday, Dallas Love Field was reporting a few clouds and temperatures near 54 degrees, with northwest winds. The latest National Weather Service forecast puts Wednesday’s high near 73. Wednesday afternoon is expected to be mostly sunny.
Thursday will be the warmest day of the short run, with sunshine and a high near 77. Winds will turn southerly at 5 to 10 mph, making it a comfortable day for outdoor plans before the pattern changes after dark.
Cold Front Brings Cooler Weekend Weather
A cold front is expected Thursday evening into Thursday night, followed by gusty northwest winds and cooler air. The change is a notable turn from Hoodline’s Monday forecast, which covered the earlier storm system and its warmer setup.
Friday should stay sunny but cooler, with a high near 70 and north winds of 5 to 10 mph. Saturday will be generally cloudy, with a slight chance of light rain showers Saturday night; the forecast puts the chance around 20 percent.
Quiet Weather Returns Next Week
Sunday should be generally cloudy with a high in the mid-60s, followed by a chilly low in the mid-40s Sunday night. Sunshine and warmer temperatures return Monday and Tuesday, when highs are expected to reach about 70 and 73, respectively.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the Dallas area. For now, Wednesday and Thursday offer the best window for patio time, errands and outdoor plans before the cold front makes the weekend feel more like November.
