It's a beautiful Saturday in North Texas. Expect sunny skies ahead of possible storms early next week
Good Saturday morning! It's beautiful with sunny skies and drier air in place. Unfortunately, Dallas-Fort Worth has an Air Quality Alert. Those sensitive groups with upper respiratory issues will want to limit their time outdoors. But it's a great day to be poolside with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s. Riley and Maggie are enjoying their pool party! The First Weather Alert Team will be watching for a complex of storms to drop south from Oklahoma overnight into early Sunday morning. An isolated storm may produce gusty winds and small hail, mainly in the northeast areas. Any residual boundaries from the morning's convection could spark a few afternoon storms, mainly south of I-20. Once again, an isolated storm with small hail and gusty winds can't be ruled out. After a quiet Monday, the focus shifts to Tuesday evening when the next disturbance arrives. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted areas west of I-35 for the potential of strong to severe storms. Keep the umbrellas handy next week with another unsettled pattern setting up and daily rain chances. Temperatures will remain near normal. Enjoy your Saturday!

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani hit historic home runs as Dodgers defeat Yankees
Two of baseball's biggest stars lined up against each other on Friday and produced a blockbuster, historic game. First Aaron Judge and then Shohei Ohtani homered at their respective first at bats of the game, making history as the first reigning MVPs to hit a home run in the opening inning of the same game. That opening salvo promised a thrilling game, one worthy of its billing as a rematch of last season's World Series. And like in the Fall Classic, the Los Angeles Dodgers came back to defeat the New York Yankees, overturning a three-run deficit at the bottom of the sixth to take an 8-5 win at Dodger Stadium. 'It was a really good start to the game, it was a back and forth between two really good teams and I'm glad we came out at the top,' Ohtani said afterward through interpreter Will Ireton. The Japanese superstar has already scored 60 runs this season, reaching that milestone faster than any other MLB player in the modern era, according to OptaSTATS. 'I feel like he was copying me,' Judge joked afterward, telling reporters about Ohtani's home run just after his own. 'He's impressive. He's one of the best players in the game for a reason; what he can do in the box, on the basepaths, once he gets back on the mound, it's special.' Though Ohtani's homer tied the game, the Yankees displayed their impressively deep offensive line-up with Austin Wells, Trent Grisham, and Paul Goldschmidt all contributing home runs of their own to make it 5-2 after the fifth inning. There was still time for Ohtani to add a second homer to his tally, and he smashed one out to right center field at the bottom of the sixth, sparking a four-run inning that changed the complexion of the game. That homer, Ohtani's league-leading 22nd of the season, marked the first of five consecutive Dodgers hits, loading the bases and making it a high scoring inning. 'With Shohei, he would probably say it's just like any other game,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters afterward. 'But I do think that when you see the reigning MVP on the other side, and going out there and performing, that brings out even more of a competitor in Shohei. And obviously, it brought up a lot of excitement from the fans.' A two-run single from outfielder Andy Pages in seventh inning gave the Dodgers a 8-5 lead, a margin they never relinquished. The two teams next face each other on Saturday.

'Plower' move? Kyle Kirkwood eyes INDYCAR action after Will Power's push-and-pass
DETROIT – Will Power chuckled a little watching the replay, but whether INDYCAR officials find humor in his new push-to-pass maneuver in practice Friday is still to be seen. The Detroit Grand Prix street course is notoriously tight in some areas, and Power got into the back of Kyle Kirkwood and decided to just keep pushing him until he got to a point where he could pass Kirkwood. The contact did slight damage to the underwing of Kirkwood's car but Kirkwood still posted the fastest time by the end of the opening INDYCAR practice. "He stopped in the middle [of the turn] and I tried to go, and he didn't and I thought I might as well move him out of the way and get a gap and then finish my run," Power said. "I just moved him ... I don't have a problem with him. I didn't even know who it was. "I was just in the back of someone and I was like, 'He's off-throttle and I'll keep pushing him until he gets passed this [other] car, move him out of the way and go.'" Kirkwood wasn't mad but also said he hopes for some sort of sanction (which typically is a reduction of practice time). INDYCAR officials had not said anything as of Friday night if Power will lose any time Saturday. "Does it give him the right to push my car through a couple of corners and almost cause a wreck?" Kirkwood said. "I don't think so. ... I expect INDYCAR to do the right thing with that. I'm sure they'll do something. Who knows what? I have never seen that before." Kirkwood did have some fun (we think) on social media. "I get Will's frustration," Kirkwood said. "Everyone's stopped. I'm frustrated, too. But the difference is I'm not pushing guys, I'm not running into the back of guys. Everyone knows Will to get animated sometimes and that's another moment of it." The Andretti driver is the only driver not named Alex Palou to win this year. "We're fast, so I'm not frustrated," Andretti said. "We're quick. We're a team that is going to come here and try to win and do everything in our power to win, and we're not going to let anybody ruffle our feathers."
