October begins with an Epic weekend for variety across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. While thunderstorms are likely through Saturday, the return of the State Fair to Fair Park anchors a schedule of collegiate soccer, professional rodeo, and comedy sets.

Expect showers and thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday with highs near 79 degrees and lows around 66. The best time to be outside is early Sunday morning, which offers the weekend's coolest overnight low of 62 degrees.
