Dallas–Fort Worth Sunday Late Afternoon: 76 and Clearing, and Election Day's Rain Eases to 86%
The clouds are breaking over Dallas–Fort Worth at 76 degrees. Monday is drier again at 83 — and Tuesday's Election Day rain, while still likely, has eased from a 90% washout to 86% showers.
Sunday is finishing better than it started. The station's live feed read 75.9 degrees and mainly clear skies in the late afternoon, feeling like 79, on the way to a high of 77 with rain out of the picture at 1%. The fog and grey of the morning files are gone, and standard time's first evening will come with a clear sky and an earlier sunset.
The week's story is still Tuesday, but it has softened at the edges. Election Day now carries weather code 81 — rain showers rather than the heavy-rain code 65 the feed showed earlier today — with the precipitation chance down from 90% to 86% and the high up to 74.4, with a low of 61.1. That is still a wet day at the polls, and nobody should plan around dry pavement; it is a forecast moving in the right direction, one update at a time. Monday, in between, keeps drying out: overcast, a high of 83 and a rain chance down to 16%.
After Tuesday the pattern clears and warms. Wednesday is dry at 76, Thursday reaches 81, and Friday and Saturday turn clear at 77 and 79 with rain chances in the low double digits at most. For Election Day planning, the practical read is unchanged in kind and kinder in degree: polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Dallas and Tarrant Counties, rain gear is still the right call, and the free DART and Trinity Metro rides remain the easiest way to skip a wet drive.
