Dallas, Texas – Temperatures across North and Central Texas will climb back into the upper 90s with mostly dry skies, as a summer heatwave tightens its grip on the region heading into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, rain chances will fade after midweek, leaving Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, Temple, and Killeen facing highs of 94° to 98° through Sunday, July 20. Isolated storms remain possible Friday and Saturday afternoons—mainly southeast of Palestine—while most other areas will stay rain-free.
Drivers and residents in Dallas-Fort Worth should expect clear skies and rising heat, with only a brief window for cloud cover Wednesday. Waco and Killeen will see similar patterns, with little relief from the sun and temperatures holding steady in the mid-90s. The Texas Department of Transportation advises limiting outdoor work and staying hydrated, especially for those with afternoon travel plans.
Power demand may spike, so energy providers recommend conserving electricity where possible. The return to hot, stable weather mirrors typical July patterns across the region.
Hot, dry conditions are expected to persist into next week. Residents should continue to check for updates as isolated storms may develop across the southeast late Friday or Saturday.
