Moderately Muggy; Cold Front Due Sunday; Sadly for Southlake




 At the 13:53 reporting, DFW International, the official reporting station for Dallas is:

The estate is 5-acres and some have called it the best backyard in the Metroplex. With Southlake Carroll High School just over a mile away, the Friday Night Lights there turn out some future NFL players on a fairly regular basis.
