Dallas-Fort Worth Weather Forecast: Warm Weekend Ahead
Dallas-Fort Worth is expected to welcome in spring with a warm weekend. Amid mostly sunny weather, the metroplex could see temperatures climb into the 80s Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

An elevated fire threat is expected to remain through the weekend.
Fire Threat and Weather Conditions
In particular, the weather service said fire will be a concern west of Highway 281 on Saturday. On Sunday, it said the expected dry and breezy weather west of Interstate 35 could raise risks for grass fires in the afternoon.
