Fort Worth, TX – North Texas residents should prepare for a sharp drop in temperatures Tuesday night, with lows near freezing and wind chills in the 20s. The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for much of the area, urging locals to protect plants, pets, and outdoor plumbing.
According to the US National Weather Service in Fort Worth, temperatures are expected to dip into the low 30s overnight, with wind gusts up to 20 mph. Wind chills will make it feel even colder, especially along the I-35 corridor. Officials recommend bundling up and planning for a chilly morning commute.
Tonight, skies will gradually clear, leading to sunny conditions Wednesday, when temperatures will rise to a high of 61 degrees. However, the cold snap will persist during the overnight hours, with another freeze likely by Wednesday night as temperatures fall to the upper 30s.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday will bring warmer days, with highs in the low 60s to 70s, but gusty winds up to 30 mph could return by Friday evening. A slight chance of showers is forecast for late Friday into early Saturday, offering some relief from the dry conditions.
Drivers are advised to watch for potential icy spots on bridges and overpasses during the coldest hours, particularly on routes such as I-35 and US-287. Residents should also bring outdoor pets inside and cover sensitive vegetation to prevent frost damage.
