Kyle listeners, summer is turning up the heat and the headlines in town. This past weekend kept first responders busy as Kyle police and the Hays County SWAT handled a tense situation on Lexington Drive late Saturday night. According to CBS Austin, a 50-year-old resident barricaded himself inside his home, making threats and firing a weapon before finally surrendering peacefully just after midnight. The suspect faces multiple charges, but thankfully, no injuries were reported.

The weather is right in line with what you’d expect for late June in Central Texas. AccuWeather reports that today’s high will climb to a toasty 93 degrees with overnight lows hovering around 73. It’s a perfect day to grab some shade or take advantage of the local pool. Humidity is moderate, and no rain is in the forecast. For allergy sufferers, the pollen count is moderate, so you may want to keep the tissues handy, but the air quality remains good by Texas standards, making it safe to enjoy outdoor activities.

Summer sports are keeping spirits high in Kyle, with last night’s high school baseball and softball games delivering some nail-biters. According to the Kyle Texas News and Info Daily podcast, the Kyle High Knights baseball team pulled off a narrow 4–3 win against San Marcos, while the Lady Knights softball squad dropped a close one, falling 6–5 in extra innings. Coaches are already looking ahead to this week’s playoff implications.

Meanwhile, local businesses are keeping Kyle vibrant. The city’s revised incentive package means the acclaimed Hays Co Bar-B-Que is preparing to relocate, promising even more mouthwatering barbecue options soon. There’s buzz about a new coffee chain opening, and skateboarding enthusiasts can look forward to progress on the Texas fifth-largest skatepark at Gregg-Clarke Park, as reported by Kyle Economic Development.

And if you’re planning to head out, the wind is steady at about 12 mph according to the Hays Free Press, so a hat might save your hairdo.
