Fort Worth, TX – Residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth area face an Ozone Action Day today, as elevated levels of ozone pollution are expected. With the sunny and clear conditions forecasted through the week, high temperatures will reach 91°F on Monday and Tuesday, making air quality a growing concern for outdoor activities.
According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Monday’s conditions are ideal for ozone formation, impacting public health, especially for individuals with respiratory issues. North Texas residents are encouraged to help reduce pollution by using public transport, walking, or avoiding idling in traffic along busy roads like Interstate 35W.
This weather pattern will persist throughout the week, with sunny skies and highs in the low 90s forecasted through Friday. Take precautions if you’re outdoors by minimizing prolonged exertion, particularly during peak hours of ozone formation, between late morning and early evening.
