The record high temperature for today at\u00a0DFW is 85\u00b0F set in 1911. Forecast highs were raised a bit after temperatures soared to the forecasted high of 83\u00b0F from this morning&#8217;s issuance. Winds will gust to near 35 mph behind the dryline making for a\u00a0quite windy afternoon. Our winds\u00a0will switch to the\u00a0northwest this evening where they should decouple a bit after sunset. The much drier air will allow temperatures to cool efficiently this evening with overnight lows expected in the 40s area wide. We should be much cooler tomorrow with highs only reaching the mid to upper 60s.<\/p>\n<p>We are still watching a southern stream system that could affect our weather as early as Saturday night with more chances of showers and thunderstorms, especially on Sunday and Monday.
