Dallas weather: October 17 overnight forecast

How about that taste of fall kicking off the weekend? We have recorded two unseasonably cool days after a streak of eight days in a row where temperatures topped out at at least 90 degrees. In fact, on Tuesday, we were only two degrees off the record. The record was 97 set back in 1910 and we hit 95. Not only that, but the humidity was brutal throughout the entirety of the work week until the front blew through. You noticed it Thursday evening, Thursday night, especially if you were up early and out the door Friday morning. Yeah, that dry air, those strong winds out of the north with recorded wind gusts upwards of 50 miles per hour across parts of North Texas. Now, by the time the sun set, the wind still stayed fairly breezy. And then earlier this morning, we did see a little bit of an added wind chill thanks to those winds still sustained out of the north between 10 and 20 miles per hour. Since then, though I notice you those winds have started to die down in fact by tomorrow afternoon we're going to see a wind shift back out of the east and southeast that'll set up a gradual warm-up through the rest of the work week morning low temperatures yeah a little bit of a shock to the system all of us falling into the 40s but with an added wind chill there were several spots that felt like it felt like the 30s now over the next several days our mornings do start to climb notice Tomorrow morning, basically a repeat of what we woke up to this morning, but without that added brutal wind chill. And then as we head into the work week, dry air still dominates until the end of the week. Then humidity starts to climb, and so do our morning low temperatures. Satellite and radar is quiet. Dry air dominating as that front scoured out any remaining moisture with a dew point of 40 degrees. Pretty comfortable. That's what gave us a beautiful fall-like feel this afternoon. no humidity and a large temperature swing on the way tomorrow we wake up to temperatures in the 40s and end in those low 70s winds right now light out of the north they'll stay that way all night long with dew points expected in the 30s and 40s over the next 24 hours or so again that gives us comfortable high temperatures in the low 70s for most tomorrow across the board several spots already dipping into the 40s by midnight we're in the low 50s we wake up once again in the 40s with just a few high clouds to dodge that is it outlying areas slightly colder especially to the north and west where we could see some readings in the mid to upper 30s high pressure nudging its way back into South Texas that keeps a dry forecast on tap now by the end of the week and into the first part of the weekend the Gulf will start to open back up and that in turn will allow for higher moisture however check out the rainfall forecast not much to speak of through the extended forecast there are some indications maybe by the end of next weekend and into early parts of the following week that we see our next system but we still have a few unseasonably warm days to get through before that happens staying seasonably cool tomorrow back to average on monday and then yes it's off to the races with a streak of highs in the 80s making the return on your seven day forecast. Sunshine dominating. That is the story through the next several days as Gulf moisture increases by the end of the weekend into the weekend. A few clouds return and humidity makes an increase.
