Fort Worth will welcome October with summer-like heat as sunny skies lock in across North Texas this week. Drivers and residents should prepare for afternoon highs climbing into the low 90s through Saturday, a reminder that fall doesn’t always mean cooler air in Texas.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, temperatures will hover between 90 and 92 degrees through Friday, with calm winds turning slightly breezy by Saturday. That warmth, paired with dry air, may raise fire danger concerns, especially along busy roadways such as I-35 and I-20 where grass and brush remain dry.
Daytime sunshine will dominate, making for clear driving conditions and no rain delays for outdoor events. Still, families should stay hydrated, limit midday activity, and keep pets cool. Evenings offer some relief with lows in the upper 60s, but humidity remains low, adding to the drying effect on soil and vegetation.
By Sunday, a small shift in winds could ease temperatures closer to the upper 80s, signaling a modest break from the lingering warmth. No storms or rain chances appear through early next week, leaving lawns, crops, and reservoirs to continue drying out.
Residents should plan for continued heat through Saturday, and remain alert for outdoor fire restrictions that could be issued if the pattern persists. The first week of October will feel far more like August in Fort Worth.
