Strategic Indoor Moves for a High Signal Weekend
The thermometer is parked above 100 degrees, but the entertainment slate remains high signal. This weekend is a good time to utilize Dallas' premier indoor venues, from the theater in Grand Prairie to the climate controlled stands at Globe Life Field.
Expect intense heat with highs reaching 103 degrees on Friday and Saturday before a slight drop to 100 degrees on Sunday. Skies will be clear to mainly clear for the first half of the weekend, with Friday late afternoon offering the best outdoor transition window.
