Texas steps into Saturday with a warm, humid breeze drifting across Dallas as low clouds cling to the skyline. Pavement holds scattered damp spots, and the air feels heavier than recent days—a clear early sign of the stormier setup taking shape. Travelers heading home after the holiday should prepare for rapidly changing conditions by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, Dallas turns mostly cloudy today with temperatures climbing toward 70° before storms develop. Moisture feeds in from the Gulf while a stronger disturbance approaches from the west. Meteorologists now expect showers and thunderstorms to grow more widespread by late Saturday afternoon, with gusts over 20 mph possible. Drivers along I-35E and I-30 should watch for pockets of heavy rainfall that may reduce visibility.
Models hint at a gradual cool-down beginning Monday as early-December air spreads south. To be fair, Dallas sits well outside the heavy-snow corridor forming across the central Plains, but the same national trough will influence North Texas by midweek. The long-range pattern suggests more frequent storm systems, cooler days, and breezier mornings heading into the first week of December.
Saturday night stays unsettled with lingering rain and a few rumbles of thunder. Sunday brings partly sunny skies and slightly cooler air, offering a brief break for returning travelers across the Metroplex. By Monday, another slight rain chance appears as the stronger trough digs into the eastern half of the country.
Through Wednesday, Dallas holds near seasonal temperatures with increasing clarity on how the December 2–6 cold surge will shape the southern tier. Residents should keep rain gear handy and stay alert for updated storm timing.
