Dallas, TX – Residents across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex should prepare for rising temperatures and clear skies as the weekend kicks off with a heatwave. Friday evening will remain calm, with temperatures hovering around 70°F overnight. However, Saturday will bring higher heat, with temperatures peaking at 93°F, potentially affecting those traveling on I-35 and nearby major roads. Be sure to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor activity during the afternoon peak heat hours.
According to the National Weather Service, the weather across the DFW area will remain sunny and dry, with light winds from the northeast at 5 mph, offering little relief from the heat. By Saturday night, temperatures will dip slightly, falling to 67°F, allowing for cooler evenings, though clear skies will persist.
Residents should plan for another round of high temperatures next week, as forecasters predict continued highs in the low 90s through Monday. Take precautions, especially during outdoor events, as the sunny, dry conditions could exacerbate the risk of heat-related illnesses. It’s critical to check vehicles for children or pets, and ensure air conditioning units are functioning properly.
With sunny conditions continuing for several days, traffic along major highways, including I-30 and U.S. 75, may see increased volumes as residents look to enjoy the warm weekend. Motorists should take care to watch for overheating vehicles and carry extra water in case of emergencies.
