McKinney listeners, let’s get you caught up on the last 24 hours around town.
First, the weather has flipped to classic North Texas winter-lite. According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Collin County is basking in clear, dry air with highs right around the lower 60s, a big drop from earlier in the week. Northwest winds have been gusting up to around 30 to 35 miles per hour, so if you were out at the fields last night, you definitely felt that breeze cutting across the bleachers. The same forecast calls for mostly clear skies tonight with lows dipping into the lower 40s and sunshine again tomorrow with highs in the low 60s.
On the air you are breathing, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality reports that the Dallas–Fort Worth region, including McKinney, is sitting in the lower end of the Moderate range for fine particulate matter, or PM 2 point 5. That means air quality is generally OK, but sensitive listeners with asthma or other conditions may have noticed a little extra scratchiness or congestion, especially during the morning commute. Ozone levels are holding in the Good range, so this is more of a tiny-particles sort of day than a smog day.
For allergy sufferers, Weather Underground’s McKinney health page has kept the spotlight on winter pollen. Tree and mold counts are the main players right now, with grasses easing off but still enough in the air to bother those of you who never get a break. It is one of those deceptively nice, cool, breezy days where your sinuses remind you that Texas is paradise for allergies, just as many local allergy bloggers like to say.
High school sports fans, this has been a busy stretch of winter action, but final scores from the last 24 hours are still being updated by the local districts and athletic sites, so if you were at a late basketball tipoff or soccer scrimmage, your story from the stands may be the best scoreboard in town this morning.
Around McKinney, the cooler, sunny weather has made it perfect for early holiday shopping on the Square, dog walks at Towne Lake, and bundled-up evening strolls under the lights, with that steady northwest wind reminding everyone it is finally not summer anymore.
