Fort Worth, TX – North Texans should brace for a significant shift in the weather this Halloween week as a strong cold front pushes through. Beginning Wednesday, Fort Worth will see increased rain chances, with temperatures finally dropping into a seasonable range by the weekend. This cooler, wetter trend follows a dry and windy start to the week, heightening the risk of fire across parts of Texas.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Monday and Tuesday will be warm, with highs reaching the low 90s and mid-80s, respectively. Both days are expected to be breezy, keeping conditions dry and leading to elevated fire risks, especially in areas with parched vegetation. Residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning and remain cautious around potential fire hazards through midweek.
On Wednesday, the cold front is expected to arrive, bringing widespread rain and a cooldown. Temperatures will drop from the mid-80s down to the low-to-mid 70s by Thursday, while rain chances increase to 40-70%, peaking overnight on Wednesday. This rainfall will help mitigate fire risks but could lead to slick roads and slower commutes, especially along major highways such as I-35 and I-20 in the Fort Worth area.
By Thursday and Friday, rain chances will remain moderate, with temperatures stabilizing in the low-to-mid 70s, finally bringing a taste of fall to the region. This cooler, wetter pattern is forecast to extend into Halloween weekend, making for a brisk but manageable evening for trick-or-treaters. Residents should plan accordingly, keeping rain gear handy and staying updated on local forecasts for further changes.
