Fort Worth, Texas – Highs are climbing and storms aren’t far behind — Fort Worth is headed toward a near-summer setup this week, with a high of 88°F expected Wednesday and a slight chance of thunderstorms returning by Wednesday night and into Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Tuesday will stay calm and sunny with highs near 83°F and gusts up to 20 mph. But by Wednesday, south winds will increase to 15 mph, pushing temperatures near 88°F — a summerlike spike that could make outdoor work and travel uncomfortable, especially along I-35W and Loop 820.
