"Resilient North Texas Faces Storms, Celebrates Innovation and Community"
Good morning Dallas-Fort Worth, I'm Morgan Riley. Word on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth is that North Texas is once again showing its resilience after another wave of severe storms swept through the area overnight. From downed trees in Arlington to power outages reported across Dallas County, many neighborhoods are waking up today to the sound of chainsaws and the tireless work of first responders. The National Weather Service confirms that last night's storms brought damaging winds and heavy rain, but fortunately, no fatalities have been reported. Crews are working swiftly to clear debris and restore power, and local officials remind everyone to steer clear of flooded roadways and report any downed power lines for your safety.
Turning to another significant story from our community, Dallas police are investigating a tragic incident following a high-speed chase last Friday. The pursuit ended in a crash that left one person dead and two officers recovering from injuries. The incident has reignited conversations in Dallas about police pursuits and public safety, with city leaders promising a thorough review of protocols while supporting the officers involved.
Now, on a more uplifting note, the word on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth is all about local talent and youthful innovation. You may have heard about the North Dallas High School grad who recently won the Congressional App Challenge. This young innovator developed a new app to help connect students with mental health resources—a pressing need in our schools today. His achievement not only earned him a trip to Washington, D.C., but also serves as inspiration for fellow students across the region. It’s another example of DFW’s next generation rising to the challenges and making a real impact.
As for your weather, expect lingering humidity today with partly cloudy skies and a high near 92 degrees. Isolated thunderstorms are possible again by late afternoon, so if you have outdoor plans, keep an eye to the sky. Looking ahead, this week is packed with ways to connect with your community. The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition enters its final round in Fort Worth—don’t miss the chance to see world-class young pianists in action. And as we approach Juneteenth, Opal’s Walk for Freedom 2025 is gearing up in Dallas, inviting folks of all backgrounds to celebrate progress and reflect on our shared history.
Whether you’re helping a neighbor clear storm debris or cheering on local students and musicians, DFW continues to prove that our community is strongest when we come together. As always, we keep moving forward—striving for safety, celebrating our talent, and honoring our history.
