Listeners, McKinney, Texas has certainly felt the impact of Mother Nature over the past 24 hours. Early this Saturday, the sky was blanketed in heavy clouds, and the morning kicked off with steady rainfall and winds gusting up to 24 miles per hour at the McKinney National Airport. By mid-morning, temperatures hovered around 66 degrees with humidity near 93 percent and visibility at 10 miles, making it a wet and breezy start according to the National Weather Service. Showers and the threat of thunderstorms are sticking around through this afternoon, and forecasters warn that the flood watch remains in effect until early afternoon. For anyone heading out, a raincoat is essential because the chance of precipitation is sitting at 70 percent for most of the day, before easing off tonight when lows will drop to the upper 50s.
Now, for those who suffer with seasonal allergies, good news—today’s pollen count is on the lower side with minimal tree and grass pollen, and local air quality is graded in the good range. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality reports that urban fine particulates and ozone are both low, so outdoor activities are unlikely to be affected unless a brief spike comes with lingering moisture.
Friday night lights last night provided plenty of excitement despite the damp turf. McKinney High took on Allen in what turned out to be a nail-biter, with Allen making a late fourth-quarter push to win 24 to 21. At Ron Poe Stadium, McKinney North’s Bulldogs faced Princeton for a homecoming duel, and the Bulldogs prevailed with a final score of 28-14, strengthening their playoff outlook and sending fans home in good spirits despite soggy socks.
Traffic around local shopping centers slowed during the storms, but crews were quick to address flooding concerns so there were no major delays or closures. Flu activity remains very low in McKinney, while the city continues to see positive results from recent health awareness events—CBS Texas notes a drop in peanut allergy cases among school kids this month.
