Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas – A blast of early summer heat is set to arrive in North Texas on Wednesday, with temperatures expected to soar into the 90s and possibly even hit triple digits. The Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Waco areas are both on track to challenge their May 14 high-temperature records, potentially reaching 100°F or higher.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Wednesday’s forecast includes a high of 100°F for DFW, which would exceed the current record of 95°F. Waco is also expected to approach its May 14 record of 96°F, with a forecasted high of 99°F. The intense heat will affect much of Central and North Texas, with areas like Killeen and Waco facing the highest chances of breaking records, with temperatures possibly exceeding 100°F.
This unseasonably hot weather will also bring a significant chance of reaching triple digits for a large swath of the region, including areas like Gainesville and Graham, where the odds range from 60% to 80%. In contrast, cities to the east, such as Paris and Canton, are expected to see slightly cooler conditions, with highs likely staying in the 90s.
Residents are advised to take precautions against the heat, including staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, and limiting outdoor activity, particularly between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The hot conditions are expected to persist through Wednesday afternoon, with no immediate relief in sight.
For those traveling in the affected areas, keep an eye on local weather alerts, as heat advisories may be issued. Stay tuned to the National Weather Service for updated forecasts and temperature records.
