Fort Worth, Texas – Strong storms and triple-digit heat could make for a disruptive weekend across North and Central Texas, with scattered severe thunderstorms possible from Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, storm chances will remain low on Thursday—just 10–20%—but the risk ramps up Saturday and Sunday as a dryline pushes east. Coverage of strong to severe storms could reach 40% in parts of North Texas by Sunday, with gusty winds and large hail the main threats.
Cities like Waco, DFW, and Killeen will see highs in the 90s, adding heat stress to the weekend’s hazards. Isolated storms on Saturday may impact areas from Cisco to Palestine, while more widespread storms are expected Sunday, including in Sherman, Canton, and Paris.
Residents should secure outdoor items, remain weather-aware, and avoid travel during any storms. Emergency managers urge Texans to have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially if outdoor plans are in place.
Unsettled weather may linger into early next week, and additional alerts could be issued as conditions evolve. Stay tuned for updates from NWS Fort Worth.
