McKinney Soars: Airport Groundbreaking, Summer Heat, and Allergy Woes

Listeners, it's Saturday morning in McKinney, Texas, and the past 24 hours have been full of sunshine, milestones, and a few extra sneezes for allergy sufferers. Let’s jump right into the latest.

Yesterday, the City of McKinney marked a major development as officials broke ground on the all-new passenger terminal at McKinney National Airport. For the first time in over 40 years, the region will move beyond general aviation, with commercial airline flights set to launch from TKI in late 2026. Senator Ted Cruz and Mayor Bill Cox both called this a transformative moment for McKinney, promising more jobs, economic opportunity, and easier travel for Collin County residents. The new terminal is designed to be modern, flexible, and ready for millions of future travelers, and energy is high as McKinney steps onto the map as the third commercial airport in North Texas, joining DFW and Dallas Love Field.

Yesterday’s weather really cranked up the summer vibes, with partly sunny skies and temperatures climbing from 87 to 95 degrees by late afternoon, and that signature Texas humidity you can practically feel through the air at 67 percent. Winds from the south cooled things off just a tad but not enough to keep things fully comfortable. Looking ahead into the weekend, McKinney will stay in the mid-to-high 90s, perfect for a dip in the pool or a lemonade on the porch, but remember to hydrate and keep an eye on those sensitive to the heat, especially children and seniors.

Turning to air quality, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality flagged Dallas-Fort Worth for moderate levels of ozone and increased particulate matter today. That means folks with asthma or respiratory issues should limit outdoor time, especially during peak afternoon hours. Allergy sufferers are also feeling it—pollen.com reports high pollen levels this weekend, with grasses and weeds at their summer peak. If you or your kids have allergy symptoms, keep those antihistamines handy.

As for high school sports, while teams are largely in summer workouts, local athletes have started prepping for the fall football season with early morning practices. The excitement is already building for Friday night lights at McKinney ISD Stadium, where both the Lions and Boyd Broncos report strong turnouts and lots of heat resilience training.
