Saturday was the appetizer. Sunday is the main course, and it arrives with a forecast high of 95 degrees. It was enough to break the daily record of 93 in a month where normal highs sit around 70. The National Weather Service’s first Heat Advisory of 2026 remains in effect, and WFAA reported that “heat index values up to 107 degrees will be possible” across the Metroplex. “Even though highs are ‘only in the 90s,’ most of our bodies are not acclimated to these temperatures yet,” the NWS Fort Worth office cautioned, noting that the region had a cold snap just days ago, and the body needs time to adjust.
It is suggested that people limit their time outdoors this weekend and keep pets out of the heat.
A cold front late Sunday offers the only relief in sight, dropping Monday’s highs into the mid-80s — before temperatures crawl back into the 90s by midweek. “Since conditions will be dry, windy, and warmer than average, fire danger will be present to the west of the Metroplex,” CBS Texas meteorologist Lauren Bostwick said in Saturday’s forecast, urging residents to avoid activities that could cause a spark with south winds gusting to 30 mph.
