Dallas-Fort Worth will see temperatures<\/a> near 100 degrees Thursday and an elevated wildfire threat for the remainder of this week, but relief from the heat<\/a> could be on the way.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office<\/a> said in its Wednesday afternoon forecast that triple-digit temperatures are expected to continue into the weekend. However, a heat advisory for Thursday has been not been issued, as of Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s high is expected to top out around 100 degrees, with the heat index, or “feels like temperature,” nearing 105 degrees. Nighttime temperatures are forecast to drop into the mid- to low-90s, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n

The region’s elevated wildfire threat is also expected to continue Thursday, primarily impacting Dallas-Fort Worth’s western region. Saturday is forecast to be the “most concerning” day for fire weather, as wind speeds are expected to increase, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n
