Dallas, TX – Thunderstorms could bring brief but disruptive weather to Dallas on Wednesday afternoon, with heat index values climbing to around 105°F before the rain arrives. A 30% chance of storms is expected after 1 p.m., potentially impacting commutes, outdoor work, and midday events.
According to the National Weather Service, the storms may form quickly in the heat of the day and could produce brief downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. Areas most likely to see impacts include downtown Dallas, Love Field, and major roadways such as I-35E, I-30, and U.S. 75. While rainfall totals will be light, lightning risk will be the primary hazard for anyone outside during the afternoon.
Wednesday night should clear out with lows near 77°F, offering a brief break before hotter weather returns. Thursday and Friday will both push toward upper 90s with mostly sunny skies and only minimal storm chances, making those days more favorable for outdoor plans.
