McKinney Weekend Weather, Ozone Alerts, and a Cool Owl Sighting

Good morning, McKinney listeners, and happy Saturday. Here’s what’s happening right now in your corner of North Texas

Start your weekend with that unmistakable July heat. Early morning temperatures at McKinney National Airport hovered around 80 degrees with a dense humidity of 85 percent and a gentle southern breeze at 5 miles per hour. The heat index already reached 85, so it feels muggy out there. According to the National Weather Service, highs will push up into the mid-90s this afternoon with a 40 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Expect similar steamy and humid conditions through Sunday, with heat indices soaring as high as 107, so stay hydrated and be ready for those pop-up summer storms.

If you’re heading outside, pay attention to the air quality. With stagnant, hot air in place and lots of summer ozone, sensitive groups should limit strenuous activity, though there are no air quality alerts as of this morning. Pollen counts remain moderate, with grass pollen leading the mix, so allergy sufferers might want to have those tissues handy.

High school sports fans, quick update—local teams have moved activities indoors where possible due to the heat and humidity. Official fall scrimmages and practices are planned for late evening hours or indoors, and district officials are reminding everyone to stay safe as temperatures continue to climb through the week.

If you’re out and about in historic downtown or passing by Towne Lake, expect the creeks and parks to be mostly quiet in the midday heat, but community centers will offer cooling stations all weekend for anyone needing relief. According to FOX 4, despite the heat, area lakes, including Possum Kingdom, are fuller than usual for late July, providing a silver lining before the next dry stretch.

And to end on a lighter note, Wild Birds Unlimited McKinney shared a charming photo of a local owl keeping cool in the shade—an unofficial mascot for beating the heat this summer.
