It's expected to be the warmest weekend so far this year in North Texas.
The WFAA weather team predicts highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 80s to 90s. It won't be record warm, but temperatures will be above normal by 10 to 15 degrees.
And the first part of the week is expected to be warm too. The weather will be perfect to head outside for a walk or to exercise.
It also happens to be the first full weekend of the first phase of reopening Texas.
Under Gov. Greg Abbott's latest order, public swimming pools must remain closed but several outdoor facilities can reopen with certain guidelines in place.
People can engage in outdoor sports, provided that the sports do not include contact with other participants, and no more than four people can play at a time, per the governor's order.
Remember, if you head outside you're still asked to practice social distancing at all times.
Here is a list of places you can head to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine:
