As usually a plethora of big events to enjoy around the Metroplex today, from college football to Rangers baseball (for the baseball team this is the last regular season home stand of the season). There is also the State Fair of Texas and the Lone Star Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway going on:

Dry for the weekend and warming up midweek back to the upper 80's:

Working a double today; did the morning show with Elizabeth Ding and will be doing the evening shows with Ken Molestina. Join us tonight at 6p and 10p!
