Strong thunderstorms are possible this afternoon in Parker County, with damaging winds, large hail, and a tornado threat — keep the radar close today. Downtown Weatherford may be getting a new Wine and Whiskey Lounge, with a TABC permit application filed for 128 Austin Avenue. The Weatherford housing market continues drawing serious outside interest in 2026, with the median home price up 10 percent year over year while still sitting 20 percent below the national average. In Hudson Oaks, the five-phase master plan for Gene Voyles Park is now public, with upgraded amenities and a funding search underway. Plus — the Weatherford Run Club meets Mondays at 6:30 PM at Holland Lake Park with a post-run social at Antebellum Ale House, and Saturdays at 7:30 AM at Pic Coffee Roasters.
