Hotter than usual weather is set to continue for the foreseeable future in North Texas, but the metro area may get a bit of relief Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office, a cold front will head to East Texas tomorrow, which could help drop temperatures a few degrees in Dallas-Fort Worth. After the mercury rose to a high of 90 on Wednesday and 92 degrees earlier in the week, dropping down to 87 degrees for Thursday could feel like an improvement.
It’s still several degrees hotter than normal — the 30-year average for the second week of October is 81. Those above-average temperatures are expected to continue for at least the next 10 days, but Friday should also be a little cooler before the temperature is expected to return to 90 degrees over the weekend.
Humidity is continuing to drop through, which should help conditions feel more autumnal and refreshing when fairgoers descend Saturday for the Red River Rivalry.
