Dallas weather: October 14 morning forecast

Good Wednesday morning. We're beginning today similar to yesterday. We've got a south breeze, clouds, very warm, muggy conditions. And like yesterday, more heat and humidity for the afternoon. But I do think there's a slightly better chance to have a couple more showers and storms today. And then with our cold front tomorrow evening, tomorrow night, that's the best rain chance we will see. Behind that front with it moving faster, it's going to be very windy and noticeably cooler as well as dry by the time we get to Friday. And with the wind letting up this weekend, for sure feeling like fall. Those mornings a little on the cool side, even chilly in a couple of spots. We'll show you that in a moment. First off, let's talk about the rain chances. Yes, we know we need it, but I don't think it's going to be widespread this go around. Very isolated at 20% today, and I think especially south and east of the Metroplex, best opportunity for a shower or rumble. And then we're relatively quiet for much of the day tomorrow. Late afternoon, early evening, we'll look to the north and west for those showers and storms out ahead of the front. That's where the coverage will be highest. And then as this front moves through, we will see a weakening trend going through Thursday night. But once we get to Friday morning, we are dry and windy and really cooling off. So we go from upper 80s and low 90s, along with that heat index near 100 for the next couple of days, to a big drop, a high of only 70. I've dropped it even more for Friday. And then low to mid 70s this weekend, looking gorgeous in the afternoon hours. The mornings though jacket weather for a lot of us yeah getting cool so here's the big picture high pressure is still our main weather feature we've got that south breeze some gusts over 20 miles an hour possible today all of the wet weather moving through parts of Kansas Oklahoma and out in west Texas is going to stay there there's a stalled boundary so we need this upper level system to kind of clear all this out this will start moving over the next 24 hours and get that front in here by tomorrow night. So already seeing some showers north of I-10. That's the activity we'll watch come up from central Texas as the day goes on and could bring us that low rain chance. Mid-70s to low 80s this morning with the south breeze, lots of clouds. That breeze continues. We're in the mid-80s at lunchtime. We'll see those isolated pop-ups. Could see something along the Red River, but I still think the better chance will be just south and east of the Metroplex. And then low 90s this afternoon. I don't think this model is warm enough. I mean, hey, we hit 95 yesterday. So I'm still going low 90s for a lot of us with the heat index. And then we'll keep an eye on things off to the north and west going through tonight and into tomorrow as well. We begin tomorrow morning a little bit cooler, so not bad. And then in the afternoon, a lot of those upper 80s with all eyes on this thunderstorm potential to the west, northwest initially. And then we have to see how things evolve going through Thursday night. There's your four-day and seven-day forecast. Two more very breezy, humid days. Low rain and storm chances at 20% today. Slightly better starting in our northwestern counties tomorrow afternoon. Going through tomorrow night, that front comes through and then that north wind could have some gusts of 40 miles an hour on Friday, ushering in much cooler and drier air with the mornings in the low 50s and highs in the low to mid 70s for your weekend.
