North TX Temps Will Push 100F This Weekend, With More Record Heat Coming The Following Wednesday

North Texas is heading into a stretch of unusually hot weather with record-breaking temperatures possible starting this Friday and continuing through the weekend, prompting First Alert Weather Days and heightened fire danger concerns. Temperatures will climb into the lower 90s Friday afternoon, tying the record high of 92 degrees. The heat will persist through the weekend, with highs nearing triple digits by Sunday.

This early-season heat is rare. The First Alert Weather team said it has been more than 100 years since North Texas experienced a heatwave, defined as three consecutive days at or above 90 degrees, this early in the year.

Conditions started mild Friday morning, with temperatures in the 60s across much of the region, before rapidly warming into the afternoon. Officials are urging residents to take precautions as the unseasonable heat builds.

The heat intensifies Saturday and peaks Sunday, when temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees in some areas. At the same time, increasing winds Sunday afternoon will elevate fire danger, particularly along and west of the Interstate 35 corridor.The combination of dry conditions, gusty winds and above-average temperatures could create critical fire weather conditions. Residents are urged to avoid activities that could spark fires and to remain cautious outdoors.
