Circus Lights and Diamond Sights in the Heat
Fort Worth is looking at a weekend defined by triple digit temperatures and a good variety of high signal indoor events. From theater highlights to the ongoing series at Globe Life Field, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the city while staying out of the direct sun.
Highs will hover between 99 and 103 degrees with mostly overcast or clear conditions. Saturday late afternoon is the most favorable outdoor window despite the heat.
