Fort Worth, TX – Central Texas faces another stretch of extreme heat as temperatures surge into the mid-90s to 105 degrees, with heat indices hitting up to 110 degrees through Saturday. The National Weather Service urges residents to prepare for this oppressive heat, which will grip the region until the weekend.
Temperatures will remain above 100 degrees in cities like Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, and Killeen-Temple. Nighttime will offer little relief, with lows staying in the upper 70s to low 80s. The heatwave will not relent until Sunday or Monday when a slight drop in temperatures is expected.
Fire risks are high, especially west of I-35, where the dry conditions combine with soaring temperatures. The elevated fire threat demands immediate attention from residents and local authorities. Vigilance is crucial to prevent wildfires in these dangerous conditions.
Looking to next week, southern Central Texas might see a slight chance of rain starting Monday afternoon. However, most of Central Texas will continue to experience oppressive heat, so staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged outdoor activities is essential.
