Hey Dallas! Get ready because this week’s weather is about to bring some twists and turns. From thunderstorms rolling in tonight to warm days that’ll feel like summer, it’s a forecast you don’t want to miss. Here’s everything you need to know so you can plan ahead and stay safe.
Tonight: Thunderstorms – Stay Alert, Dallas!
Planning on heading out tonight? You might want to double-check the weather first. A line of thunderstorms is moving toward Dallas, and it could bring some serious weather with it. We’re talking heavy rain, gusty winds, and possibly even some large hail. The storms are expected between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., so if you have any evening plans, be ready for some wild weather.
What to Expect:
-
Timing: Between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., so if you’re out and about, the storms could catch you by surprise.
-
Impact: Expect heavy rain, some gusty winds, and hail in some areas. There’s even a small chance of tornadoes, so stay informed.
-
Tip: Make sure your phone is charged and that you’re checking the weather regularly. If you’re in the middle of something outdoors, it’s a good idea to find cover just in case things get intense.
These storms can come fast, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you’re near any outdoor furniture or vehicles, you might want to secure them before the storm hits.
Thursday, March 27: A Rainy Start with Some Sunshine Later
If you thought tonight was intense, tomorrow isn’t much better. We’ll start the day with some clouds, and there’s a 40% chance of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. While it won’t be a washout, be ready for some rain to interrupt your plans.
What to Expect:
-
Morning: Cloudy skies and maybe a sprinkle, but nothing too dramatic. It’s the kind of morning where you might want to grab a jacket and an umbrella just in case.
-
Afternoon: Showers and thunderstorms are more likely around 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Temperatures will hit around 77°F, so it’ll still be warm despite the rain.
-
Evening: It could get soggy again in the evening, so keep your rain gear handy if you’re out. Temperatures will dip to around 62°F, so it’ll still be relatively mild.
Pro Tip: If you’re going out later in the day, be prepared for wet streets and a bit of wind. It’s one of those days where you might want to reschedule outdoor activities.
Friday, March 28: Wet Morning, Breezy Afternoon
Friday morning will bring some wet weather to kick off your day. We’re looking at a 70% chance of rain, and possibly some thunder. But don’t worry—by the afternoon, the weather should settle down, leaving us with a breezy, mild afternoon.
What to Expect:
-
Morning: Get ready for showers and maybe a bit of thunder. If you’re headed to work or school, be sure to leave early, as roads could be slick.
-
Afternoon: The rain should clear up, and the sun might even peek out for a bit. Temperatures will reach about 75°F, with a breeze picking up from the south at 10-20 mph. It’ll feel fresh and mild, but a little windy.
-
Evening: By the time evening rolls around, things will cool down to 60°F, so it’ll be comfortable to be outside, but maybe grab a light jacket if you’re heading out late.
Tip: It’s one of those days when the weather starts off a little miserable but turns into something pleasant by the afternoon. So if you can, maybe hold off on outdoor activities until later in the day.
Saturday, March 29: Sunny, Warm, and Breezy – Perfect for the Outdoors
Looking for some sunshine? Saturday is going to be a warm, breezy day with plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will soar to 86°F, making it feel like we’ve skipped straight into summer. It’s the kind of day you want to be outside, so make the most of it!

-
Afternoon: Temperatures will climb to a toasty 86°F. The wind will make it feel a little cooler at times, but it’s definitely a day for sunglasses and sunscreen.

What to Do: Saturday is a great day to hit up a park, go for a walk, or have a barbecue with friends. Just don’t forget the sunscreen—it’s going to be a sunny one!
Sunday, March 30: Near Record Temps – It’s Time to Stay Cool
Sunday is going to be another scorcher, with temperatures climbing up to 88°F. This will be a taste of what’s to come as we move into the warmer months, so stay hydrated and take breaks if you’re spending time outside.
What to Expect:
-

-
Evening: Temperatures will cool off to 66°F, which will still be warm enough to enjoy a pleasant evening outside.
Tip: With such high temps, you’ll want to avoid being outside during the hottest parts of the day (typically between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.). Wear light clothing, a hat, and sunscreen if you plan to spend time outdoors.
Looking Ahead: A Cooler Start to April
The first day of April is shaping up to be a cooler one. After a hot weekend, we’ll see temperatures dip back down into the mid-60s. Expect some light rain in the morning, which will clear up as the day goes on.
