Texas – Heat shimmers off Dallas pavement this afternoon as bright sun and dry air push temperatures into the low 90s, setting up a summer-like surge that peaks before a subtle cooldown early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Dallas climbs to 91°F today with southwest winds near 10 mph. The warming trend strengthens into the weekend, with highs reaching 93°F Saturday and peaking near 95°F Sunday. Wind gusts could reach 25 mph Sunday afternoon, especially along I-35 and I-20 corridors.
This stretch of early spring heat arrives well above seasonal norms and increases fire weather concerns across North Texas. Dry grass and steady wind can allow flames to spread quickly. Avoid outdoor burning and secure loose items. Hydration matters more than usual this time of year.
Travel conditions remain dry and clear, but heat fatigue may impact long drives, particularly during peak afternoon hours. Roads will stay dry, yet glare and warm air can reduce driver focus. Plan breaks if traveling across the Metroplex this weekend.
By Monday, temperatures ease slightly to around 86°F with lighter winds and partly cloudy skies. Nights remain mild, holding in the low 60s, offering limited cooling after sunset. Tuesday brings another rebound to near 90°F under sunny skies.
Longer-range signals point toward continued above-normal warmth heading into late March, reinforcing an early-season heat pattern across Texas.
If you’re spending time outside this weekend, pace yourself and stay cool. Are you already feeling summer vibes in your neighborhood?
