Listen Later

Good morning, McKinney. Kicking things off, it has been a classic Texas summer twenty-four hours with highs soaring into the upper nineties and touching ninety-nine degrees yesterday, according to AOL's hourly breakdown, and FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth adds that North Texas is looking at another wave of triple-digit heat heading into Thursday. Today, the thermometer is set to reach toward one hundred and one, so keep your water bottles handy and consider taking any outdoor activities early or late to beat the most intense heat.

Last night brought a break from the sun with clear skies and a bit of a breeze out of the east, keeping overnight lows in the mid-sixties, based on averages from Time and Date. Despite some previous humid and stormy weather earlier in the week, things stayed breezy and dry through the night, giving McKinney a rare taste of milder, pleasant Texas air.

Breathing easy is a little more manageable for now, according to Pollen.com and the McKinney Texas News and Info Daily podcast. Both grass and tree pollen counts are moderate, so allergy sufferers are getting something of a reprieve. If pollen usually bothers you, today is a good day to get outside—just don’t forget the sunscreen. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality forecasts the air quality in Dallas-Fort Worth to be in the ozone moderate range today, which means most listeners can go about their routines as normal, though anyone unusually sensitive to ozone might want to take it a bit easy.

Turning to local sports, while official district play for high school football hasn’t started just yet, teams across the area are deep into summer conditioning and non-conference scrimmages. McKinney High’s soccer squads wrapped up practice under the lights last night, and fans should keep an eye on the school’s social media for summer league scores as pre-season excitement builds.

Wrapping up, stay tuned for announcements about upcoming community events like the annual mid-summer farmer’s market at Chestnut Square, and remember, with these sweltering temps, McKinney’s splash pads and pools are open extended hours through the weekend.
