Dallas–Fort Worth Late Sunday Night: 70 and Overcast, and Election Day's Showers Edge Back Up to 57%
Tuesday's forecast has spent Sunday shrinking — and tonight it grew a little. The live feed now puts Election Day showers at 57%, still showers rather than a washout, with Monday the warm, mostly dry day at 83 in between.
Late Sunday night in Dallas–Fort Worth is 70.3 degrees at the station's live feed, feeling like 72.5, under an overcast sky, closing a Sunday that topped out at 78.9. The night stays dry, and Monday remains the week's warm interlude: overcast, a high of 83 and a low of 65.6, with the rain chance down to 17%. Whatever needs doing outdoors before Election Day, Monday is still the day to do it.
Election Day itself moved, slightly, in the other direction. At 9 p.m. this station reported Tuesday's shower chance eased to 51%; the feed read late tonight has it back up to 57% — still coded as showers, still well short of the heavy rain at 86 to 90% that Tuesday carried for most of Sunday, with a high of 74.2 and a low of 60. The honest summary for a voter planning a 7-to-7 day is unchanged: some part of the Metroplex will likely see rain at some point on Tuesday, an all-day deluge is not what the feed shows, and a shower chance in the fifties has never been a reason to skip a polling place. Wednesday behind it is dry, overcast and 73.
The rest of the week is warm and quiet: Thursday 78.5 and Friday 77.9, both with rain chances at 1%, before Saturday again codes as a thunderstorm day at 80.1 — a combination this desk will keep watching, since Saturday's low printed rain chance and storm code have disagreed all weekend. For the next 36 hours, though, the forecast's message is simple: a warm dry Monday, a showery Tuesday, and nothing in either that should decide whether anybody votes.
