Dallas–Fort Worth Weather: Monday's Thunderstorms Are Withdrawn — Overcast and 81 Instead, Election Day Storms Hold
The live feed at 3 a.m. read 63.9 and clear, and it quietly took Monday's thunderstorm code back: Monday is now overcast at 80.7 degrees with a 52 percent rain chance, while Tuesday's Election Day thunderstorms stay at 75 percent.
The forecast giveth, and two hours later it taketh away. This station's live weather feed, read at about 3 a.m. Sunday, puts the current temperature at 63.9 degrees and clear, with Sunday itself steady — fog early (code 45), a high of 78.4, a low of 62.3 and a 3 percent rain chance for the day's Dia de los Muertos events.
Monday is where the feed reversed itself. The 1 a.m. file carried Monday as thunderstorms (code 95) at 84.7 degrees; the code is now back to overcast (3), the high is down to 80.7, and the rain chance has eased from 59 to 52 percent. In plain terms: Monday still carries a better-than-even chance of rain, but the organized thunderstorm risk the overnight forecast briefly assigned to it has been withdrawn. Outdoor Monday plans no longer need the full storm caveat — a rain plan, yes; a storm plan, not on this reading.
Tuesday, Election Day, does not move: thunderstorms, a 75 percent rain chance, a high of 74.8 and a low of 64.8 — the wettest day of the week still lands on the vote. Wednesday clears behind the system (73.9, no rain chance), and the rest of the week runs mild: 79.8 Thursday, 74.7 Friday, 79.5 Saturday. Voters planning around Tuesday's weather should keep Tuesday's plan exactly as it was; it is Monday that got easier.
