Good morning, Denton.

TxDOT began construction on I-35E and the Main Street bridge north of the SH-121 interchange in Lewisville yesterday to install steel girders; main lanes closed Friday from 10 p.m. until Saturday noon will close again Saturday from 10 p.m. until Sunday noon and managed lanes have been closed continuously since 8 p.m. Friday until Monday 5 a.m.—drivers should use alternate routes as detours are expected and weather could delay progress further.

A North Texas family is raising awareness about muscular dystrophy as their son Brandon Hale (16-year-old) builds art in Minecraft while battling weakening muscles from Duchenne, which was diagnosed when he was 5.

The family faces growing challenges as his father, Eric, is in a rehab hospital after a below‐the‐knee amputation and they work to make their home more accessible amid financial strain.

Friday marked the official start of summer in North Texas as families enjoyed extended daylight outdoors and gathered at local spots like lakes for fun.

Meteorologist Juan Hernandez explained that while solar radiation peaked Friday, higher temperatures will come later in July or August — urging residents to stay hydrated and enjoy the season safely.
