Texas residents should brace for a sweltering weekend, with temperatures set to soar into the upper 90s and potentially hit triple digits in some areas. The Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco-Temple-Killeen areas will experience unseasonably high temperatures from Friday through Sunday, reaching up to 97 degrees. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, take breaks from outdoor activities, and wear light clothing to mitigate heat risks.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Fort Worth, temperatures will remain rain-free but extremely hot, with overnight lows only dropping to around 70 degrees. The heat will affect travel and outdoor plans across the region, especially along major roadways like Interstate 35. Precautions should be taken to avoid heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Relief is expected to arrive Monday as a cold front sweeps across the state, bringing a welcome drop in temperatures. Highs are forecasted to fall to the mid-80s by Monday and continue cooling into the mid-70s by midweek, marking a return to more seasonal conditions. Breezy conditions will accompany the cooler air, with Tuesday likely to feel significantly more comfortable, especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
With the weekend’s intense heat, residents are advised to stay informed about the changing weather patterns. Monitor updates from the National Weather Service and prepare for a sharp shift to cooler, fall-like weather next week. Plan accordingly, whether hitting the road or staying home, to navigate the temperature rollercoaster ahead in Texas.
