Fort Worth, TX – North Texas will bake under dangerous heat Thursday as an Ozone Action Day takes effect for the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with heat index values reaching up to 106°F. Air quality officials are warning residents to limit outdoor exertion and help reduce emissions during this high-pollution window.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, skies will be sunny Thursday with highs near 96°F, but humidity will make it feel several degrees hotter. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality urges commuters to share rides, use public transit, or delay vehicle use until evening to curb ozone levels. Residents should also avoid idling in drive-through lanes and keep vehicles well-maintained.
Friday through the weekend will remain hot and mostly sunny, with highs pushing 97°F and continued light winds offering little relief. While no additional ozone alerts have been issued beyond Thursday, conditions could prompt repeat advisories if heat and light winds persist.
Stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor activity in the afternoon, and check for updated air quality reports before planning outdoor work or exercise.
