Good morning, Dev Test County. Dallas is about to feel like midsummer this weekend as temperatures soar toward the low 90s, potentially matching records set decades ago in 1936 and 1972. Strong winds up to 40 mph will accompany Sunday's heat wave, prompting wind advisories across multiple counties and elevating fire risks west of I-35. If you've already put away your shorts and sandals, you might want to retrieve them for one more outing.
On the public safety front, AT&T customers face dangerous service outages due to copper wire theft, particularly affecting vulnerable residents needing emergency services. Meanwhile, history buffs have reason to celebrate as "Old Tige" makes a magnificent return to Dallas after extensive restoration. The rare 1884 Ahrens steamer, one of only two left in existence, arrived at the Firefighter's Museum just as it would have 141 years ago – impressively drawn by a team of horses.

🔥 Dallas-Fort Worth braces for record-breaking heat on Sunday. Temperatures could climb into the low 90s, approaching the daily high record of 93 degrees set in 1936 and 1972. Strong winds up to 40 mph will accompany the heat, prompting a wind advisory from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, and Collin counties. Areas west of Interstate 35 could even reach 100 degrees, creating elevated grass fire threats. After a brief cooldown Monday, warm temperatures are expected to continue throughout the week.
📞 Copper theft leaves Dallas AT&T customers in dangerous outages. AT&T's Vice President Michael Peterson has highlighted how these thefts imperil lives and livelihoods, particularly affecting vulnerable residents needing emergency services. Meanwhile, AT&T's downtown Dallas headquarters area faces a 42% increase in violent crime and growing homelessness concerns, with 90% of residents reporting it as a significant problem. Curiously, Peterson reportedly opposes reform legislation that would increase funding for security and quality-of-life improvements in the area, leaving residents puzzled by this contradiction.
🚒 Historic fire engine returns to Dallas after 141 years. "Old Tige," one of only two 1884 Ahrens steamers left in existence, made a grand return to the Dallas Firefighter's Museum after extensive restoration. The 5,700-pound steam engine, which served Dallas from 1884 to 1921, was originally pulled by horses and could pump 600 gallons of water per minute. In a nod to its history, the freshly painted engine arrived at the museum just as it would have in 1884 - drawn by a team of horses.
