Tuesday Evening in Dallas–Fort Worth: 75 and Partly Cloudy at 5 P.M., Veterans Day Firms Up Overcast and Dry at 79.1 — Then a Clear, Cooler Thursday
The station feed at 5 p.m. reads 75 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Wednesday's Veterans Day now codes overcast rather than clear — but the rain chance is just 2%, so the parades stay dry. Thursday clears out and cools, and the weekend rain is still on the board for Sunday.
DALLAS — The Weather Desk's 17:00 file opens on the station's live feed at 5 p.m.: 75 degrees, feeling like 75.2, under partly cloudy skies (code 2), closing out a Tuesday that topped at 78.4 and will bottom at 61 overnight, with the day's precipitation chance recorded at 23%. The evening cools steadily under broken cloud, and nothing in the feed threatens the night's plans — the overnight road closures in this cycle's traffic file are weather-clear.
Veterans Day Wednesday has shifted a notch since the afternoon file: the feed now codes it overcast (code 3) rather than clear, with a high of 79.1 and a low of 57.7 — but the precipitation chance is just 2%, which is the number that matters for the Tarrant County Veterans Day Parade stepping off at 11 a.m. in downtown Fort Worth and Arlington's evening observance. Dress for a gray, mild morning rather than a bright one; by parade time temperatures should be climbing through the 70s. Thursday then clears completely (code 0) at 76.5 with a cooler low of 49.6, and Friday stays dry and overcast at 74.7.
The weekend turn is unchanged from the afternoon read and is firming: Saturday codes light drizzle (code 51) at 68.7 with a 9% chance, Sunday is the wet day — drizzle (code 55), 61.9 degrees and a 39% precipitation chance — and Monday turns to outright rain (code 63) at 52.8 with a 30% chance and a low of 46.4. The desk's line for the week: enjoy the dry, mild holiday tomorrow, take Thursday's clear cool-down, and have the rain gear ready by Sunday.
