Fort Worth, Texas – Brutal summer heat will grip North Texas by Tuesday, with Fort Worth facing highs near 94°F and a heat index pushing 99°F. The National Weather Service warns that hot, sunny conditions will continue into the weekend, raising heat-related risks for commuters, outdoor workers, and vulnerable residents.
According to the NWS, Tuesday will be sunny with a high near 94°F and south winds at 5 to 10 mph. Heat index values will approach 99°F in urban areas. A prolonged stretch of near-100°F temperatures is expected through at least Saturday. No rain is forecast, and low wind speeds will limit relief.
Daytime highs will climb steadily, hitting 96°F by Wednesday and peaking near 98°F on Friday and Saturday. Overnight lows remain unusually warm, hovering in the upper 70s. The city’s concrete-heavy layout will worsen overnight heat retention, increasing health risks after sunset.
Local roads like I-35W and U.S. Route 287 could see heat-related stress on pavement during peak afternoon hours. Residents are advised to avoid strenuous activity from noon to 6 p.m., drink plenty of water, and check on elderly neighbors and pets. Outdoor events and work crews should adjust schedules where possible.
No official heat advisory has been issued as of Monday, but conditions may prompt alerts later this week.
⚠️ Stay alert: Heat risk remains elevated through Saturday. Updates will follow if advisories are issued.
