Dallas–Fort Worth Saturday Night Weather: 71 and Clear, Sunday Fog, Then Election Day Thunderstorms at 77 Percent
The live feed at 10 p.m. Saturday read 70.9 degrees and clear over Dallas–Fort Worth. Sunday opens with fog and a high of 77.7, Monday warms to 84.5, and Tuesday — Election Day — carries a 77 percent thunderstorm chance.
Halloween night is ending mild in Dallas–Fort Worth. The station's live feed read 70.9 degrees and clear at about 10 p.m. on Saturday, closing a day that topped out at 77.6 with only a 14 percent rain chance — a dry finish for the trick-or-treat hours the weather desk has tracked all day.
Sunday, the first day of standard time, opens with fog on the feed (weather code 45) before a high of 77.7 degrees and a low of 65.4, with the rain chance down to 4 percent. The clocks fall back at 2 a.m., so the fog hour arrives with an extra hour of sleep behind it — and, as this station's earlier file noted, it is the morning to let the fog lift before an early drive. Monday is the week's warm day at 84.5 degrees, with the rain chance climbing to 59 percent as the next system approaches.
That system is aimed at Tuesday. Election Day carries thunderstorms on the current feed (code 96) with a 77 percent rain chance and a high of 77.8 — the wettest reading of the week, timed for the day Dallas and Tarrant County voters go to the polls. Wednesday clears behind it, sunny with a high of 71.8. The feed updates continuously; the numbers above are the 10 p.m. Saturday reading, and Tuesday's storm timing is the figure worth re-checking before voting.
