Fort Worth, Texas – Triple-digit temperatures and dangerous heat indices are scorching North Texas today, with highs up to 105°F and the heat index peaking at 107°F. A Heat Advisory remains in effect from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. across the region, while isolated strong storms could hit areas north of I-20 this afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, the arrival of a weak cold front could trigger scattered thunderstorms, particularly near Bowie, Sherman, Paris, and Graham. These storms may bring erratic, gusty winds and lightning, posing hazards to boaters on lakes and anyone spending time outdoors. The primary concern remains heat-related illness, especially during peak afternoon hours.
Major cities including DFW, Waco, Killeen, and Hearne are all under the advisory, with temperatures between 101°F and 103°F. In Canton and Cisco, relief is unlikely, with minimal storm risk but oppressive humidity.
Officials urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities, and monitor weather updates closely. Any storms that develop could become severe with little warning. Heat and storm threats are expected to diminish after 8 p.m., but additional advisories may be issued if storm activity lingers.
