Fort Worth, TX – North Texas will see one more hot day Friday, with temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s across the region, before a weak cold front arrives tonight. The area, including major routes like I-35, will begin cooling slightly on Saturday, as highs dip into the low 80s. While today and tomorrow remain dry, a significant shift in the weather is expected late next week, with rain chances increasing just before Halloween.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Fort Worth, warm, rain-free conditions will continue through Monday, keeping temperatures above seasonal norms. However, by Thursday, North and Central Texas are likely to experience measurable rain, with a 60-80% chance of precipitation late in the week. The NWS advises residents to monitor forecasts closely, especially those finalizing Halloween or travel plans.
The best chance for rain will occur between Wednesday and Friday, when a stronger system is expected to move through the region. Though the exact timing and amounts are still uncertain, the pattern shift brings the first significant chance for rain after a notably dry stretch in October. Temperatures will drop slightly after the front, with daytime highs falling to the 70s next week, offering some relief from the prolonged warmth.
Residents should remain prepared for cooler evenings and wet roads late next week, particularly if commuting through high-traffic areas like I-35 or U.S. 287. Stay updated on forecasts to adjust your weekend and holiday plans as needed.
