Dallas–Fort Worth Sunday Night: 71 and Overcast, and Election Day's Rain Has Eased to 51% Showers
All day, Tuesday was the storm: heavy rain, 86 to 90 percent. Tonight's live feed tells a gentler story — showers at 51%, a high near 74, and a dry Wednesday behind it. Monday is the week's warm day at 83.
Sunday night in Dallas–Fort Worth is mild and gray: 71.5 degrees at the station's live feed, feeling like 74, under an overcast sky, at the end of a day that topped out at 78.9. The night stays dry, and Monday is now the week's warm day — overcast, a high of 83 and a low of 66, with the rain chance down to 18%. If you have one outdoor errand left before Election Day, Monday is when to run it.
The headline, though, is Tuesday — because Tuesday changed. Every weather file this station published on Sunday carried Election Day as the week's washout: heavy rain, with the chance running 86 to 90%. The feed read tonight has cut that roughly in half: Tuesday now codes as showers, not heavy rain, at a 51% chance, with a high of 74.2 and a low of 60. That does not make Election Day dry — a coin-flip shower chance over a 7-to-7 voting day means some voters, somewhere in the Metroplex, will vote in the rain — but the all-day deluge that had both campaigns doing turnout math has come off the forecast. Wednesday behind it is dry and overcast at 73.
The back of the week warms and mostly dries: Thursday 78.5 and Friday 77.9, both with rain chances at 1%, before Saturday turns genuinely stormy — the feed codes Saturday as a thunderstorm day with a high of 80.1, even at a low printed rain chance of 7%, a combination worth watching as the week develops. For Tuesday, the practical version is short: bring the umbrella you can leave in the car, and do not let a forecast that has been shrinking all night talk you out of a polling place.
