Fort Worth, Texas – A surge of summer heat returns to North Texas Sunday, but it comes with a catch — afternoon thunderstorms may roll in after 1 p.m., creating a risk for outdoor plans and travel along I-35.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, isolated storms may develop Sunday afternoon with a 20% chance of rain and a high near 90°F. Winds remain calm, but sudden downpours or lightning could impact localized areas, especially in Tarrant County. Residents should monitor forecasts closely and plan to stay indoors during peak heat and storm hours.
Monday marks the beginning of a warming trend, with partly sunny skies and a high near 93°F. By Tuesday and Wednesday, highs soar to 95°F and 97°F respectively, with minimal cloud cover. The heat will peak on Thursday and Friday with highs forecasted near 99°F — prompting health officials to urge residents to limit outdoor activity and stay hydrated.
Despite mild winds and partly cloudy nights, the consistent climb in temperatures means air conditioners will be working overtime. Check your HVAC systems and consider pre-cooling homes in the morning.
