Fort Worth, Texas – Blazing sunshine and rising humidity will send Fort Worth temperatures soaring into the mid-90s Thursday, with heat index values approaching 99° by early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Dallas/Fort Worth, Thursday, June 26 will be mostly sunny with a high near 94°F. Southerly winds of 5 to 10 mph will keep air circulating, but not enough to ease the midday heat. Officials urge residents—especially outdoor workers and vulnerable individuals—to limit time outside between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., when heat stress risk peaks.
Areas near I-35W, downtown Fort Worth, and along US-287 may experience heat-related slowdowns and additional stress on cooling infrastructure. Hydrate frequently, wear light clothing, and never leave pets or children in parked vehicles.
The heat won’t ease anytime soon. Friday’s high will reach 96°F, followed by a blazing 97°F on Saturday and a near-record 98°F Sunday. Nighttime lows hover in the upper 70s, offering little overnight relief. Minor storm chances return Monday and Tuesday but offer limited cooling effects.
