Dangerous heat lingers around North Texas as work week begins
Monday is going to be a dangerously hot day. A heat advisory is in effect starting at 12 p.m. today and continuing through 7 p.m. tomorrow due to a heat index value reaching up to 107 degrees. Today will be sunny with winds from the south around 5 to 10 mph and a high in the upper 90s. The heat combined with the moisture in the atmosphere will cause the "feels-like" temperatures to be in the triple digits. When your body gets hot, you sweat, which evaporates and cools you off. However, when there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere, it inhibits the evaporation process, so your body can't cool as quickly. That's what makes days like today dangerous. So far, the majority of July has been below average temperature-wise. In fact, it has been 339 days since Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport recorded a 100-degree or higher day. This streak has been long – there have only been four times in the last 30 years that North Texas has waited this long to see a triple-digit day. This trend ends soon – highs are forecasted to reach the triple digits Tuesday through Thursday. A break from the intense heat will be expected by next weekend due to a cold front. The front will move through the area Friday, dropping temperatures a few degrees and bringing rain chances for the weekend.

Why Flower Mound, Texas is quietly rising as one of the best places to live in the U.S.
Flower Mound, a picturesque town nestled in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, has officially earned the title of America's best place to live in 2025, according to Livability's annual ranking. Scoring a remarkable 875 out of 1,000, it outpaced thousands of U.S. cities based on key factors like affordability, safety, healthcare, education, and quality of life. What's Driving the Hype Around Flower Mound? With a population just above 80,000, Flower Mound may be small, but it punches well above its weight. The town's high Livability Score reflects a winning combination of: A strong economy supported by 2,000+ businesses Excellent schools and healthcare access Affordable housing compared to other metros Natural beauty, especially its iconic wildflowers by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally Undo 'No secrets here—Flower Mound is known for its wildflowers, just as its name promises,' Livability noted, referencing the blooming mound at the town's heart. How It Stands Out from the Rest Flower Mound beat out some strong contenders: Live Events #2 Carmel, Indiana (Score: 872) — praised for its schools and safety #3 Sugar Land, Texas — recognized for its affordability and business appeal #4 Naperville, Illinois and #5 Roswell, Georgia — both known for strong education systems and vibrant communities While over 25 million Americans moved in 2024—and over 30 million are expected to move in 2025—Flower Mound stands out as a top destination for those seeking a better lifestyle without giving up convenience. Small-Town Feel, Big-City Benefits Just 14 minutes from DFW International Airport, Flower Mound offers easy access to global travel and major job markets like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Irving. Yet it maintains a laid-back vibe with: Lakeside parks and scenic hiking trails A tight-knit community that gathers for weekend events Award-winning public schools and low crime rates Median household income nearing $160,000 Slow, Smart, Sustainable Growth Rather than rushing toward rapid development, Flower Mound is committed to 'smart growth.' Since 1999, its SMARTGrowth Program has ensured any new construction aligns with infrastructure, environmental, and community standards. This thoughtful planning helps the town maintain its identity while still making room for progress. While fewer retail and dining options exist compared to fast-growing suburbs, residents value the tradeoff: less traffic, lower crime, and a more peaceful pace. With a median home value of $544,000, Flower Mound remains more affordable than cities like Los Angeles or New York, making it especially attractive for out-of-state buyers. However, homes in the $400K–$500K range are increasingly scarce.

Lord Buffalo Cancels Tour After Border Patrol ‘Forcibly Removed' Mexican Drummer From Flight
Lord Buffalo has canceled its European tour after border patrol 'forcibly removed' band member Yamal Said, a Mexican citizen, from a flight — despite the drummer being a green-card holder and 'lawful permanent resident' of the United States — according to a statement on the Texas band's Instagram. With just one day left before their trek had been scheduled to kick off Thursday (May 15) in the Netherlands, the group members wrote in their joint statement that, moments before they'd been supposed to take off for Europe on Monday (May 12), their bandmate was escorted off the plane at at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. 'He has not been released, and we have been unable to contact him,' they wrote, noting that they are 'heartbroken' to have to cancel the tour as a result.

'We are devastated to cancel this tour, but we are focusing all of our energy and resources on Yamal's safety and freedom. We are hopeful that this is a temporary setback and that it could be safe for us to reschedule this tour in the future.' In an update to the caption posted later Thursday afternoon, Lord Buffalo thanked fans for their 'outpouring of support' and shared that Yamal had 'secured the legal representation he needs.' 'We are waiting to hear what comes next,' the band added. 'We want to reiterate that we truly don't know what's going on. We have more questions than answers, but we will keep you posted as much as we can. At this time the family asks for privacy as they navigate the situation.' Billboard has reached out to the band's reps and the DFW International Airport for comment. According to Lord Buffalo's website, the Americana rockers were slated to play eight total dates across Europe. Following their kickoff performance in Heerlen, they'd planned on spending the month of May traveling through cities in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. In the group's absence, tourmates Orsak:Oslo will still play at all of their scheduled dates. 'We urge everyone to go see this amazing band and support them over the next couple weeks,' Lord Buffalo added in its statement. The announcement comes at a tense time in American immigration politics, with Donald Trump pledging to carry out mass deportations as part of his presidency when he entered office in January. As reported by Billboard, the administration's policies have had a particular effect on the Latin music industry, with many artists sharing that they've seen a distinct drop in attendance levels due to concertgoers fearing deportation. The twice-impeached POTUS' crackdowns on travel and immigration have also impacted the trans community. In January, Trump signed an executive order requiring that travel documents such as passports and visas display a person's sex assigned at birth, after which U.S. Citizenship and Immigrant Services (USCIS) announced in April that it would only recognize biological sex on immigration forms going forward. As a result, trans musicians — such as Bells Larsen, who was forced to cancel his American shows due to the change — have similarly struggled to tour in the U.S. See Lord Buffalo's statement below.

Passengers described the "surreal, exhausting" experience. Michele Woods was on her way home from a trade show in Colorado Springs. She said people were screaming, pushing and jumping when the plane landed at DFW. "[The plane] landed, everything was fine, but then there was smoke filling the cabin," she said. Red Flag Warning also in effect for North Texas As a result of the high winds – and extremely low relative humidity, a red flag warning is in effect Friday until 9 p.m. The warning does not necessarily mean a fire is ongoing; extreme fire weather conditions are occurring now or will shortly, according to the National Weather Service. Texans should avoid all outside burning and welding. Also, don't toss lit cigarette butts outside.
