Dallas is set for a good weekend overall with a high volume of events ranging from combat sports to international concerts. While Friday offers a brief respite with cooler temperatures and a light drizzle, be prepared for a significant heat spike through Sunday. PFC 53 stands out as the weekend's high-signal event for sports enthusiasts.
Friday starts mild with a light drizzle and a high of 80, but temperatures will surge to 97 degrees by Sunday. Friday late afternoon is your best window for outdoor activities before the overcast Saturday and clear, hot Sunday move in.
