Fort Worth, TX – Residents across Tarrant County and the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex can expect a mostly dry, increasingly warm stretch through midweek, followed by cooler nighttime conditions.
According to the National Weather Service Dallas/Fort Worth office, temperatures will climb from approximately 72 degrees Sunday, Nov. 8, to 81 degrees Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The warmup comes as much of the country experiences seasonably mild November weather. However, the most significant heavy rainfall threat remains farther south across Texas.
North Texas Begins Warming Monday Clouds dominate portions of Sunday, with temperatures reaching approximately 72 degrees.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport reported 59 degrees and overcast skies early Sunday morning.
Gradual clearing is expected by evening, with temperatures falling toward 53 degrees.
Monday, Nov. 9, brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 74 degrees.
Southwest winds around 5 mph should accompany the warmer afternoon.
For residents cleaning fallen leaves, preparing holiday decorations or working outdoors, Monday offers favorable conditions.
Tuesday Brings More November Warmth Tuesday, Nov. 10, continues the warming trend.
Mostly sunny skies push temperatures toward 77 degrees, with a chance of sprinkles developing after noon.
The National Weather Service does not indicate widespread or significant rainfall for Fort Worth.
That distinction matters because southern Texas faces a separate heavy rainfall threat.
Federal forecasters highlight a Level 2 of 4 excessive rainfall risk across southern Texas, where several inches could trigger scattered flash flooding.
That risk is not shown for Dallas Fort Worth in the supplied outlook.
Tuesday night remains mostly clear, with temperatures falling toward 58 degrees.
Veterans Day Could Reach 81 Degrees Wednesday, Nov. 11, becomes the warmest day in the five day outlook.
Sunshine dominates, with temperatures expected to reach approximately 81 degrees.
Calm winds become west northwest around 5 mph during the afternoon.
The warm, dry conditions should favor outdoor Veterans Day ceremonies, community gatherings and travel throughout the Metroplex.
Residents spending extended periods outdoors may want lighter clothing during the afternoon.
However, temperatures begin falling again Wednesday evening.
Mostly clear skies accompany a low near 52 degrees.
Cooler Air Returns Thursday and Friday Thursday, Nov. 12, remains sunny, but temperatures ease toward 75 degrees.
Northwest winds of 5 10 mph could gust to 20 mph.
The cooler trend becomes more noticeable Thursday night, when temperatures fall toward 47 degrees.
That marks a 34 degree difference from Wednesday's expected afternoon high.
Friday, Nov. 13, brings additional cooling, with sunshine and temperatures near 71 degrees.
Friday night falls toward 46 degrees.
Despite the cooler mornings, the supplied forecast does not indicate freezing temperatures, snow or icy road conditions across Fort Worth.
