Dallas–Fort Worth Sunday Night: 74 and Overcast, Election Day Showers Hold at 86%, and Saturday Turns Stormy
The first night of standard time settles in cloudy at 74 degrees. Monday is the week's last dry, warm day at 83, Tuesday's Election Day rain chance is unchanged at 86% — and the new entry in the forecast is a thunderstorm code on Saturday.
Sunday is ending cooler than it spent its evening. The station's live feed read 73.7 degrees and overcast at nightfall's end, feeling like 77.7, down from 76.8 in the early-evening file, with the day's high closed at 78.9 and rain still a 1% afterthought. The first night of standard time in Dallas–Fort Worth is a cloudy one, and the week it opens is now fully drawn.
The two days that matter have not moved, and their stability remains the planning news. Monday is overcast and warm — high 83, low 65.4, rain chance 16% — the last dry-ish day of the stretch and the day to do anything outside that Tuesday will make miserable. Tuesday, Election Day, holds at weather code 81, rain showers, an 86% precipitation chance, a high of 74.4 and a low of 61.1: voters in Dallas and Tarrant Counties should still plan for a wet trip to the polls between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Behind the election the forecast has quietly changed at both ends. Wednesday now comes in cooler than earlier files had it — a high of 73.2, down from 76.3, and dry — with Thursday at 78.5 and Friday at 77.9, both dry. And Saturday has entered the week carrying weather code 95, a thunderstorm, with a high of 80.1 and a rain chance of 11%: the percentage is low, but the code is new, and it makes next weekend the next thing this desk watches after Tuesday's rain has passed.
