Dallas started Sunday with fog and mist hanging over parts of the area, but the murky morning is expected to give way to a warm, partly sunny afternoon near 83 degrees. The bigger weather story arrives Monday night, when thunderstorms and gusty winds move across North Texas.
Fog Lifts As Temperatures Climb
Patchy fog is expected to linger before 9 a.m. Sunday, with visibility improving through the late morning as light winds pick up. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Sunday for areas east of Interstate 35, while the immediate Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is largely fog-free, according to the National Weather Service.
After the fog burns off, Sunday should turn partly sunny and unseasonably warm, with highs near 83 degrees and a 0 percent chance of rain. Sunday night will stay mostly cloudy and mild, with temperatures settling in the mid-60s.
Monday Brings Heat, Wind And A Storm Threat
Monday will be even warmer, with a high near 86 degrees and south winds of 15 to 25 mph. Gusts could reach 30 to 40 mph, so loose outdoor items may need to be secured before the weather turns unsettled.
Storms are expected to develop Monday evening and spread east. The forecast calls for about a 90% chance of precipitation, and forecasters say there is a low risk for severe weather, including damaging wind gusts, isolated large hail and a few quick-forming tornadoes as storms move across North Texas.
Cooler And Drier Weather Follows Tuesday
The front should push through early Tuesday, bringing a slight chance of showers before noon and clearing skies afterward. Temperatures will fall to around 76 degrees, with northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts near 30 mph.
Quiet fall weather is expected for the rest of the week, with sunny or mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs generally in the low to mid-70s. Overnight lows should dip into the low 50s by Wednesday night and Thursday night.
