Fort Worth, Texas – Scorching summer heat and hazardous air quality are bearing down on Fort Worth this Wednesday, July 30th, creating a double threat for residents and commuters across North Texas. The National Weather Service and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality are urging immediate action, especially for those traveling I-35 and I-30, as heat index values soar past 106°F and an Ozone Action Day remains in effect.
According to the latest alerts, a Heat Advisory is in place until 7 p.m. Wednesday for Fort Worth and much of North and East Texas. Officials are warning everyone to limit time outdoors, drink plenty of water, and check on elderly neighbors and pets. With stagnant air and blazing sun, ozone levels are spiking, raising the risk for anyone with asthma or respiratory conditions. Drivers are advised to keep windows up during rush hour and to avoid strenuous activities along main corridors such as I-35 and I-30.
Daytime highs Wednesday will climb to 103°F under sunny skies, with humidity making it feel even hotter. The Air Quality Alert means that children, seniors, and those with breathing problems should avoid prolonged exposure outside. Emergency officials stress: never leave pets or children unattended in vehicles, and try to finish outdoor work before noon or after sunset.
Looking ahead, the summer heat holds steady Thursday with another high near 103°F before a slight cool down arrives Friday as clouds build. By Friday afternoon, a 20% chance of scattered thunderstorms could bring brief relief, but humidity remains high. Weekend conditions look partly sunny with highs in the low to mid-90s, and Saturday offers a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially late in the day. The pattern continues into Monday, with another chance for storms and a high near 92°F.
Stay weather aware and check back for updates as more advisories may be issued.
