Summer Temperatures Arrive in North Texas
North Texans may be glad for the week of storms to finally pass, but the departure of wet weather is bringing in some true summer temperatures.
The pattern starts to shift Friday in Dallas-Fort Worth with a high of 91 degrees, an almost 10-degree jump from Thursday. The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office also forecast that the humidity will make it feel even hotter, with a projected “feels like” temperature up to 100.

That extremely high humidity will continue into Saturday. The high may only be forecast to be 93 degrees, but the moisture in the air will drive the heat index up to 105. The humidity is forecast to taper off slightly Sunday, allowing the same high of 93 to have a “feels like” temperature of 102.
