Fort Worth, Texas Weather in February

February feels mild, with a chill

February brings cool mornings and mild afternoons. Highs reach 16°C, but lows fall to 3°C, so evenings can feel cold. Rain comes on about six days, and clouds sometimes soften the sunshine.

You can spend dry spells walking the Fort Worth Stockyards or exploring the Cultural District's museums. On a wet or chilly day, the Kimbell Art Museum makes an easy indoor stop. Skip long outdoor plans when rain is falling; muddy paths can make walks less enjoyable.

Rodeo days and quieter streets

The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo often runs into early February, with livestock shows, rodeo events and fairground food at Dickies Arena and the nearby Will Rogers Memorial Center. Its dates vary, so the event may finish before your visit. Valentine's Day also falls in February, but it doesn't bring a citywide festival.

If you hate crowds, visit the Stockyards on a weekday outside rodeo dates. February is generally quieter and often less costly than the busier March and April months. Rodeo days can draw visitors, so expect more activity around the showgrounds.

Make the most of a cool day

With about 10.8 hours of daylight, you've got time for museums and a Stockyards stroll, though evenings arrive earlier than in spring. February sits between January, which is slightly cooler, and March, which is warmer and wetter.

Travelling with kids? The Stockyards cattle drive gives you an outdoor activity without needing a long walk. For a practical stop, head to Joe T. Garcia's in the Stockyards for Tex-Mex after exploring. Its large patio is pleasant on a mild afternoon, but choose indoor seating when the evening chill sets in.
