The new month will bring a new weather pattern to the Dallas area following a wet end to April.
During the second half of April, the city received nearly 4.50 inches of rain, more than double of what would usually fall during that timeframe.
This drier weather means that people in the city can put away their raincoats and umbrellas for a few days and not have to worry about them until at least the weekend.

Each day through Friday will be warmer than the last with highs starting out the week in the lower 70s F and finishing in the middle 80s F.
A normal high temperature for the start of May is right around the 80-degree mark.
This dry, seasonable weather will be good news for those looking to spend some time outside, especially for Cinco de Mayo celebrations that are set to take place in the outdoors.
