Fort Worth, TX – This week, Fort Worth is in for a mix of classic Texas weather—hot, breezy, and even a chance of storms. While temperatures will flirt with record highs early in the week, a cold front will bring a much-needed cool-down by the weekend. Here’s what you need to know to stay prepared.
A Sizzling Start to the Week

Record-Breaking Heat Before the Winds Arrive
