Dallas temperatures rise steadily through the season, though thunderstorms and short periods of heavy rain become more common.

Temperatures begin easing after the summer heat, making autumn another comfortable period for combining Lockhart Smokehouse with time around Bishop Arts. Early in the season can still be quite warm, but conditions become milder as the weeks pass. Dallas also has a busy calendar of major events during this period, so weekends around the city can draw larger crowds. Lunch earlier in the day is a practical choice if you want a quieter meal and the widest selection from the smoker.
Winter in Dallas is generally mild compared with many parts of the United States, although cold fronts can bring chilly mornings and occasional freezing temperatures. Snow is uncommon and usually does not affect the city for long. Lockhart Smokehouse remains a good indoor stop during colder days, especially for smoked brisket, ribs and warm sides. Bishop Arts is still easy to explore between meals, though bringing a jacket is sensible because temperatures can change noticeably from one day to the next.
