Texas is waking up warm and breezy across Dallas–Fort Worth, where low clouds hang over I-35 and temperatures sit near 62 degrees. A steady south wind at 12 mph feeds early March humidity, setting the stage for a springlike surge.
According to the National Weather Service, skies gradually clear today with highs climbing to 81 degrees. South winds increase to 15 mph, with gusts near 20 mph. That warmth continues Monday with another high near 80 under mostly sunny skies.
Tuesday turns even warmer. Highs reach 85 degrees with gusts up to 30 mph. Patio weather dominates for now, but changes are building. Moisture deepens ahead of a midweek system.
By Wednesday afternoon, a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops, with highs near 81. Storm coverage increases Wednesday night, when showers become likely and a thunderstorm is possible. Rain chances hold into Thursday with highs near 81 again.
Drivers along I-20 and I-35 should monitor conditions midweek. Brief downpours could reduce visibility and create ponding on roads. Keep devices charged and check updates before the afternoon commute Wednesday.
We are one week from setting clocks forward at 2 a.m. March 8. Longer daylight pairs with a warming 6–10 day outlook favoring above-normal temperatures across North Texas. Early spring warmth is taking hold.
