Fort Worth drivers and outdoor crews should brace for unseasonably warm afternoons this week, with highs holding steady in the low to mid-90s through Saturday. Despite October’s arrival, fall temperatures remain delayed, keeping air conditioners running and raising caution for heat-sensitive outdoor activities.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Thursday and Friday will feature highs near 93 and 92 degrees, followed by a slight dip into the upper 80s by Wednesday. Nights remain comfortable, with lows in the upper 60s to near 70, offering some relief for residents. Calm winds will gradually shift southeast, holding at 5 to 10 mph.
For those traveling across I-35 or Highway 121 this weekend, weather conditions remain favorable with dry roads and excellent visibility. Event planners, sports teams, and families decorating early for Halloween can expect clear skies and no weather-related delays. Health officials still urge residents to stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor work during peak afternoon heat, even in October.
The pattern remains stubborn, with dry high pressure anchoring over North Texas. This means little to no rain chance through early next week. Cooler air does not arrive until midweek, when highs finally dip below 90 for the first time this month.
Clear skies continue through Sunday night, with consistent fall sunshine marking the weekend. While it may not feel like sweater weather yet, the dry air and cooler nights set the stage for outdoor gatherings and Halloween prep.
