FORT WORTH, Texas – Gusts rattle fences and scatter leaves across driveways this morning as a blustery northwest wind sweeps through North Texas. The air feels dry and sharp, the kind that carries dust from open pastures and nudges high-profile vehicles along I-35 and I-20.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, a Wind Advisory remains in effect through early evening, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph. The strongest winds are expected across Tarrant, Parker, and Wise Counties through midday before easing gradually by sunset. Residents should secure outdoor décor and delay light construction or rooftop work until calmer conditions return.
Behind the wind, sunshine takes over. Highs will reach the mid-60s this afternoon, with crystal-clear skies stretching across the Metroplex. Thursday will bring calmer air, comfortable highs near 66°F, and a bright, dry setup heading into Halloween.
Friday — Halloween — looks nearly ideal for outdoor events and evening trick-or-treating. Temperatures will climb into the lower 70s by day, then cool into the upper 50s after sunset under mostly clear skies. Winds will stay light, making for one of the most comfortable Halloween evenings in recent years.
Saturday may bring a brief warm-up and a slight chance for an isolated thunderstorm, mainly east of the DFW corridor. Sunday turns cooler again, marking the start of a steady November trend. Clocks fall back early Sunday morning at 2 a.m., giving North Texans an extra hour of sleep — and a small reminder that winter’s chill isn’t far behind.
