McKinney listeners, let’s dive into everything that’s been making headlines around town this past day. The hot and breezy June weather has kept everyone on their toes, with temperatures fluctuating between 69 and 89 degrees, according to Weather25 dot com. Partly cloudy skies greeted the city earlier today with a moderate breeze clocking up to almost 14 miles per hour as reported by Dallas Fort Worth International weather data, so hopefully you had your hat on if you were out for a stroll. Pollen counts have been steadily moderate, and the air quality remains good—so allergy sufferers may get a slight break, but it’s still smart to keep that antihistamine handy just in case.
In local sports, high school athletes continue impressing at their summer camps but there have been no major game results reported yet in the last 24 hours, making this a bit of a quiet stretch before preseason tournaments start to heat up later this month.
A somber note for our community: FMX ninety-four point five reports that a lightning strike at The Bridges Golf Club took the life of local father Spencer Loalbo while he was golfing with his dad. It’s a tragic reminder for all of us to be cautious with fast-changing summer storms, even if the skies look mostly clear overhead.
On the business side, Community Impact announced this morning that Verity Behavioral Solutions is getting ready for its McKinney grand opening on Eldorado Parkway, offering applied behavior analysis therapy for children with autism. The clinic will hold its opening event this weekend and promises a trauma-informed, individualized approach for families seeking support.
Meanwhile, city government is inviting all to join in the Juneteenth Freedom, Resilience, and Unity festivities, adding a positive note and much needed celebration to the community spirit. And in case you missed the news, the local Kroger location is one of several set to close as part of a nationwide effort to improve efficiency by the grocery giant, so you may want to plan ahead for your next shopping trip.
