McKinney listeners, it’s August 16th, and you’ve been sweating through a classic Texas summer day. Today’s high temperatures soared up to the upper 90s with the heat index peaking around 107, so if you ventured outside, you know it’s hot enough to fry an egg on the hood of your truck. Humidity hovered above 55 percent, making it feel even steamier, and those southerly winds tried but failed to cool things off. According to the National Weather Service, this evening will stay muggy, with lows only dropping to the upper 70s.
For anyone eyeing the air quality before making evening plans, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality gave Collin County a nod of approval—air quality was rated as good, so you can breathe easy tonight. If you’ve got allergies, you’ll be relieved to hear that pollen.com says today’s pollen count stayed low to moderate across McKinney, making it a rare break for all the seasonal sniffle sufferers out there.
Now over to local high school sports—McKinney North Bulldogs football delivered a nail-biter at Ron Poe Stadium last night, edging out their rivals, the Allen Eagles, 28 to 24 with a fourth quarter touchdown. The McKinney Lions also took the field but fell short against Plano West, 17 to 13, after a hard-fought defensive battle. Local fans packed the stands and the concession lines under those stadium lights, fueled by school spirit and more than a few stadium nachos.
Around town, most folks sought relief at the city pools and shaded patios. McKinney’s Parks and Recreation team reported a banner day for Towne Lake Park, packed with families enjoying the last summer weekends before school is back in session.
As sunset nears, the UV index will finally drop after hitting extreme levels earlier today, so those twilight dog walks and patio meals are back on the table. No rain to speak of and no flooding in sight, so McKinney, you can enjoy a dry evening out there.
