Dallas woke up to clear skies and a brisk chill today, with temperatures in the upper 30s under bright sunshine. A quick midday warmup is on tap, with a high near 58°F and north winds around 5 to 10 mph, gusting up to 20 mph. By evening, the mercury heads back into the mid 30s, so a light jacket will still be the smart move for any late plans.
Tomorrow, stays on the mild side with a high near 60°F, but then the pattern shifts fast. Forecasts call for a high near 74°F on Tuesday, with south southwest winds at 5 to 15 mph and gusts up to 35 mph, followed by a very warm Wednesday, February 25, 2026, with highs near 83°F. The National Weather Service Fort Worth office has the full outlook and timing.
Elevated Fire Weather Risk Tuesday to Thursday
The combination of above-normal temperatures, low humidity, and breezy southwest winds will create an elevated wildfire threat across parts of North Texas from Tuesday through Thursday. A grass fire danger statement has been issued for several counties, including Denton and Collin, urging residents to avoid burning and to report fires promptly, according to The Dallas Morning News.
What To Do
No watches or warnings are in effect for the Dallas-Fort Worth metro at this time, but forecasters say conditions could favor fast-moving grass fires by midweek, so treat the dry brush like it wants to burn. Avoid open burning, secure loose yard debris, and keep vehicles and machinery away from dry grass. If you see smoke or fire, call 911 and follow updates from the National Weather Service Fort Worth and local fire departments.
