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!

Jermall Charlo Vs. Thomas LaManna: Odds, Records, Prediction
In the past few years, Jermall Charlo has fought against more than just 160-pound foes in the ring. He's also battled against personal problems out of the ring, including mental health and legal issues, that he thinks have hampered his career. But he's looking to get himself back into boxing fans' conscience on Saturday when he takes on Thomas LaManna. Here's everything you need to know about Jermall Charlo vs. Thomas LaManna, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win. Since defending his middleweight title vs. Juan Macias Montiel four years ago, Charlo has only fought once (a solid decision win vs. Jose Benavidez Jr. at super middleweight in 2023), but he's been arrested at least three times since then and has been charged with DUI stemming from an alleged car accident in May 2024. He also told the New York Post in 2023 that he was dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues. 'Depression, self conflation, going from hot to cold really fast is shocking to you,' Charlo told the Post. 'Dealing with all kinds of cases of [being] bipolar, being by yourself, thinking that you shutting the world out is going to help you . . . It just feels like everybody is against you, I don't care if you're in the Uber, a cab, wherever, everybody is just against you. Why I felt like this, [I don't know]. I couldn't tell that some people weren't against me, it was just that at the moment it's the way you're feeling and I turned my back against pretty much the world. I just had to start getting help with it and it made me a lot better.' Now, nearly two years later, Charlo, at 168 pounds, is trying to get back on track in a new weight division. 'I just miss boxing, period,' he said. 'I miss getting up and just focusing on boxing, and I'm back to doing that at the highest level. The sky's the limit for me at this weight. I'm sparring bigger guys and I can lift more now. I'm squatting more than I ever did and using my body more than I ever did. I feel like this is the division I'm going to end my career in. You're going to see me go out and be more explosive than you've ever seen me before in my life.' If he looks impressive on Saturday, he potentially could face Caleb Plant, assuming he beats Amando Resindez in the main event of the card. But LaManna wants to ruin Charlo's plans. 'I've been in this same seat before, and I came up short when I fought Erislandy Lara,' LaManna said. 'I never want to go through that again. It messed me up. We all know what the task at hand is, and we're going to give this my best shot. I'm going to give it my all. We're going to upset the apple cart.' Here's more info on the Jermall Charlo vs. Thomas LaManna showdown that U.S. viewers can watch on Amazon Video (free with Prime subscription) beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday. Despite Charlo's absence from the ring, that hasn't stopped the oddsmakers from making him a heavy favorite. Entering his fight, Charlo is the -1600 favorite (bet $1,600 to win $100), while LaManna is the +850 underdog (win $850 on a $100 wager). Want more value for your money? I'd go with Charlo winning by decision at +140. If you were looking for a fun parlay for this weekend's action of boxing (and this is only for entertainment purposes), I might take Charlo beating LaManna by decision at+140, Caleb Plant to beat Armando Residenz by decision at +210 and Yoenli Hernandez to beat Kyrone Davis at -650. If all those hit, you'd win $758 on a $100 wager. Though we haven't seen Charlo (33-0, 22 KOs) in the ring since November 2023, he remains undefeated, and he probably shouldn't have too many struggles winning on Saturday. It's been nearly a decade since two of the best victories of his careers (vs. Austin Trout and Julian Williams) and a half-decade since decisively beating Sergiy Derevyanchenko, but he still showed plenty of skills in his last fight, nearly shutting out Jose Benavidez Jr. Say this for LaManna (39-5-1, 18 KOs): he's on a nine-fight winning streak after getting knocked out in the first round by Erislandy Lara in 2021. But his level of opponent in the past four years hasn't been stellar, and there isn't much reason to think he can pull off an upset against Charlo, especially if Charlo is still a reasonably elite fighter. Despite his well-documented issues, Charlo is still an impressive (and undefeated) fighter. It's hard to imagine that, at the age of 35 and with his inactivity, he's still in the prime of his career. But even a well-worn/older version of Charlo will still be too much for LaManna to handle. Say Charlo by decision, somewhere in the 98-92 range.

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.
