TEMPS TO FLIRT WITH/REACH 80 WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY—TEMPERATURE DOWNTURN TO ARRIVE THIS WEEKENDTemperatures this week are to average 14-degrees warmer than last week and an eye-catching 18-degrees above normal. Not since late last September—nearly 7 months ago—have back to back 80-degree temps occurred here. Yet that’s just what may occur this Wednesday and Thursday.There are several keys to warming this time of year. For one, cloud cover must be limited. There will be some clouds to filter incoming sunlight Tuesday but those clouds back off allowing sunnier, limited cloud coverage Wednesday and Thursday. So we can check that box in terms of warm temps in the days ahead.Second—and right up there in importance—is producing a strong enough westerly flow to hold the layer of colder, denser air which sits over the STILL COOL WATERS of Lake Michigan which currently average 43.6-degrees. We can check that box too, because a strengthening pressure gradient is to produce a well developing s...

HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) - Students at Lehman High School with Hays CISD said they do not have enough access to restrooms. "I've almost used the restroom on myself a couple of times," said one student who wanted to remain anonymous. They said there are only two restrooms for each gender available most of the day. "They're like, 'Oh, it's unlocked, go ahead and go to it.' And I try it, it's locked," they said. Parent Katelyn Shephard said her daughter has shared similar experiences.

Lynx select Diamond Miller, Maia Hirsch in first round of WNBA draft

Diamond Miller is no stranger to thriving with new teammates.The 6-foot-3 shooting guard stayed at the University of Maryland for her senior season in 2022-23, even as a number of her teammates, including LSU standout Angel Reese, transferred out.Playing with a roster that included nine new players in all, she averaged 19.7 points per game and led the Terrapins to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015.
