The start of the week is warm and dry, but a lingering rain is expected in Dallas beginning Wednesday.
Monday and Tuesday’s weather will mirror previous days with highs in the 80s and 90s throughout North Texas, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. Breezy winds, with gusts up to 25 to 35 mph will elevate fire concerns, especially near and west of Interstate 35.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected over North Texas by late Wednesday as a cold front pushes through the region. Some of the storms could be strong.
Rain will temporarily stop from west to east Thursday, according to the weather service, before redeveloping and occurring on and off Friday through Saturday.
The KXAS-TV (NBC5) forecast shows a chance of rain Halloween morning in Dallas but dry conditions that evening for trick-or-treating.
The cold front will also drop daily high temperatures to the 70s starting Thursday.
