Dallas is waking up under clear skies, a light north-northeast breeze and temps hovering near 44°F, with the kind of crisp air that feels more like a reset than a chill. By afternoon, look for a milder setup, with readings climbing into the low 60s under partly sunny skies.
Afternoon And Weekend Outlook
Highs are expected to top out around 62°F today, with northeast winds of about 5 to 10 mph and only a slight chance, roughly 10%, of a few stray sprinkles. Overnight lows should hold in the mid to upper 40s before a stronger boundary moves in.
That second cold front arrives Saturday morning and flips the breeze to a northwest wind, which could kick up gusts to around 30 mph during the day. Widespread severe impacts are not anticipated, but it will be noticeably breezier. Saturday’s high should reach near 64°F, then slide to around 38°F Saturday night as drier air settles in. These timing and temperature details come from the local forecast and discussion issued by the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
Local Impacts And Tips
Saturday’s gusty northwest winds could buffet high-profile vehicles and send loose patio furniture on a short road trip, so it is worth taking a few minutes Friday night to secure or bring in anything lightweight.
Red Flag Warnings affected parts of northwest North Texas on Thursday. While most of those were outside Dallas city limits, residents should still check county burn bans and hold off on any spark-producing yard work during the gustiest periods. If you have errands on the schedule, budget a little extra time around the Saturday morning wind shift, when travel may feel a bit more blustery than usual…
