Fort Worth, Texas – After another hot, sunny day Thursday with highs in the mid-90s, storms are expected to creep back into North Texas late Friday and linger through the start of next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, storm chances rise to 30 percent Friday afternoon, with lightning, gusty winds, and brief heavy rain possible. The unsettled pattern will continue into Sunday and Monday, where daytime heating could fuel scattered thunderstorms across Tarrant, Dallas, and surrounding counties.
Drivers along I-35W and I-30 should prepare for sudden downpours during the weekend, particularly late afternoons when storms are most likely. Outdoor events in Fort Worth, Arlington, and Denton may also face delays or cancellations if storms flare during peak hours.
Heat will remain a factor, with highs near 93 to 95 degrees through Sunday. Humidity will push heat index values close to the upper 90s, adding to discomfort for anyone spending extended time outdoors. Residents are urged to stay weather-aware, keep devices charged, and avoid low-lying areas that may briefly flood during heavier storms.
Rain chances taper slightly by midweek, but forecasters warn more advisories could follow if storm coverage increases.
