"Storms Slam Ellis, March Madness Madness, and Blooms & Beats at Botanic Garden: DFW News Update"
Good morning, Dallas-Fort Worth. This is Morgan Riley with your local news update.
Word on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth is that severe storms caused significant damage in Ellis County over the weekend. Tragically, a 42-year-old Midlothian man lost his life as a result of the weather. Several others were injured, and multiple tractor-trailers overturned near Waxahachie. Our thoughts are with those affected by this devastating event.
In sports news, March Madness has officially hit Fort Worth. The American Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Championship is underway at Dickies Arena. Local fans have something to cheer for, as the North Texas Mean Green entered the tournament as the number two seed. The championship game is set for Sunday, so there's still time to catch some exciting college basketball action.
Shifting gears to a story that warms the heart, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden is launching a new monthly series called Blooms & Beats. This family-friendly event combines the beauty of nature with live music and local flavors. Guests can enjoy spring in the garden while listening to performances by talented local artists. The inaugural event kicks off this Friday with The Seven6 Band taking the stage.
Looking ahead at the forecast, we're in for a mix of weather this week. After the stormy weekend, expect a chilly and cloudy Sunday. As we move into the workweek, temperatures will gradually warm up, with highs reaching the mid-70s by midweek. Perfect weather to get out and enjoy some of the great events happening around town.
Speaking of events, don't forget that the Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival is coming up this Saturday on Greenville Avenue. It's a beloved local tradition that's sure to paint the town green.
As we wrap up today's update, I'm reminded of how our community comes together in times of joy and in times of hardship. From the devastation in Ellis County to the excitement of March Madness and the simple pleasure of music in a garden, we're all connected by the fabric of this vibrant metroplex we call home.
