    "Severe Weather Hits Central Texas: Austin News Update"
    2025/05/03
    Good morning Austin, this is Morgan Riley, and you're listening to the Austin News Update for Saturday, May 3rd, 2025.

    The word on the streets of Austin today is focused on severe weather and its aftermath. Central Texas residents remain on high alert as severe weather season continues to impact our area. Multiple counties have experienced significant weather events over the past few days, with emergency responders and electricity providers working diligently to address damages and outages.

    In Burnet County, residents are currently assessing and cleaning up tornado damage after severe storms swept through on Thursday evening. The tornado struck the northeastern part of the county, damaging homes and injuring one driver. Local authorities are coordinating relief efforts as community members begin the recovery process.

    Tragically, in nearby Granger, a house explosion on Friday morning has left one woman dead and a man injured. According to Williamson County officials, emergency services responded to the scene early Friday. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and our thoughts go out to those affected by this devastating incident.

    In other news, the Austin Police Department has identified the victim in a homicide that occurred at a Shell gas station on Riverside Drive. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident.

    On the political front, Fox 7's chief political reporter Rudy Koski and a panel of analysts have discussed the major stories from This Week in Texas Politics, including recent developments regarding SpaceX and Elon Musk. Reports indicate Texas may grant Musk and SpaceX expanded powers as "Starbase" is set to incorporate.

    Looking at today's weather, we're experiencing partly cloudy conditions with a current temperature of 62 degrees. Sunday looks to warm up with highs around 82, followed by similar temperatures on Monday at about 80 degrees. While Austin was spared from the heaviest rainfall, other parts of Central Texas received over 5 inches of rain in recent storms.

    Several schools in Central Texas announced early dismissals yesterday due to the severe weather threat. Parents should check with their children's schools for any updates on scheduling or weather-related announcements.

    As we navigate these challenging weather patterns together, remember that community resilience has always been one of Austin's greatest strengths. From Barton Springs to South Congress, this city has weathered many storms, literal and figurative, by supporting one another.

  • "Austin Resilience: From Tragedy to Community Triumph - News Roundup on Music, Weather, and City Initiatives"

    "Austin Resilience: From Tragedy to Community Triumph - News Roundup on Music, Weather, and City Initiatives"
    2025/05/02
    Word on the streets of Austin: it's Friday, May 2nd, and I'm Morgan Riley, here to bring you the latest from our city—where live music echoes through downtown, the scent of barbecue rides the spring air, and every day carries a story.

    Let’s start with our top headlines. Austin Police are investigating a tragic incident on East Riverside Drive. On Thursday evening, a disturbance at a Shell gas station ended with one person dead. Authorities are still working to determine who was involved and what led to this confrontation, asking anyone with information to come forward. It’s a sobering reminder of the real challenges facing some of our communities, and underscores the important work local law enforcement continues to do.

    Severe weather swept through Central Texas yesterday, with a tornado touching down in nearby Burnet County, destroying a home and injuring one resident. While Austin itself was spared the worst, officials urge everyone to stay informed as storm season continues. When storms like these roll in, they not only test our infrastructure but show just how much neighbors can mean to each other in times of crisis.

    Meanwhile, downtown Austin is preparing for the summer surge with the city replacing damaged temporary fencing along Sixth Street. This move aims to keep our entertainment district vibrant and safe for residents and the many visitors who will be flocking here in the coming months. If you’re heading out for live music or just some people-watching, expect some fresh new barriers and a little extra security presence.

    For a human interest spotlight, meet Karen and Kevin, a husband-and-wife music duo who’ve been lighting up local venues with their heartfelt performances. Their blend of classic Austin songwriting and modern flair has quickly made them favorites on the circuit. You can catch them this weekend at the newly reopened Red River stages—a testament to the resilience of Austin’s music scene and the people who keep it alive.

    Turning to public health, Austin officials are investigating a second confirmed case of measles in Travis County this year. They’re urging everyone to check their vaccination records and stay alert for any symptoms. The city is also preparing for wildfire season, asking residents to take simple precautions—like clearing brush and signing up for emergency alerts—to keep neighborhoods safer as temperatures rise.

    Looking ahead, Austin’s weekend forecast calls for sunshine with highs in the mid-80s, perfect weather for the annual Arbor Day celebration at Zilker Park. Don’t miss your chance to vote for Austin’s Tree of the Year while enjoying food trucks and live performances. And if you're out and about, keep an eye on new community initiatives rolling out this month, including expanded affordable housing and resources for those exiting homelessness.

    As we wrap up, I’m reminded that Austin’s spirit lies in both its resilience and its warmth—whether we’re weathering a literal storm or finding new ways to strengthen our neighborhoods. Classic Austin is about connection, and contemporary Austin proves that every day.

  • "Bridging Divides, Celebrating Austin's Evolving Rhythms: I-35 Project Faces Funding Threat, Mariachi Stars Shine"

    "Bridging Divides, Celebrating Austin's Evolving Rhythms: I-35 Project Faces Funding Threat, Mariachi Stars Shine"
    2025/05/01
    Word on the streets of Austin: change and challenge are going hand-in-hand as we start this first day of May. I'm Morgan Riley, here to guide you through the headlines that matter most in our city—where art blends with tech and history is always underfoot.

    Our top story centers on the I-35 Cap and Stitch project, long heralded as Austin’s bold answer to both traffic woes and neighborhood connectivity. This week, local leaders are sounding the alarm after proposed federal budget cuts threaten to strip away $105 million in funding. City officials worry this could delay the project, which aims to cap sections of I-35 with parks and pedestrian paths, reconnecting communities that have been split by the highway for generations. The mayor’s office issued a statement yesterday, urging federal representatives to protect funding and keep Austin’s vision for a more unified, accessible city on track. As someone who remembers I-35’s concrete dividing line since the era of Stevie Ray Vaughan, seeing momentum for this long-awaited project stall hits close to home.

    Pivoting now to the human side of Austin—today, we shine a light on Lehman High School’s Mariachi Los Lobos. This remarkable student group just wove tradition and youthful energy into a state-winning performance, earning recognition as one of Texas’s top high school mariachi bands. Their story isn’t just about musical excellence; it’s about keeping culture alive and thriving in a fast-growing city. If you haven’t heard Los Lobos perform classic Mexican ballads alongside contemporary favorites, mark your calendars: they’ll be headlining the upcoming We Are Austin festival next Saturday.

    Turning to the weather, the morning starts mild with temps around 73 degrees, but keep an umbrella handy. Meteorologists predict highs in the low 90s today with a strong chance of afternoon storms. Flood threats persist, especially in low-lying areas, so stay alert for weather advisories. Looking ahead, Friday cools off to the mid-80s, but the weekend warms up again—perfect for checking out the Pecan Street Festival downtown or catching live music at Auditorium Shores.

    Austin’s community calendar is packed: early voting is underway for local leaders and initiatives, with Election Day coming up May 3. Don’t forget to check your polling location and make your voice heard—local decisions shape our neighborhoods as much as any headline.

    As I sign off, I’m struck by how Austin is always adapting—bridging divides, weathering storms, and celebrating the unique rhythms of its people. Whether we’re tuning in to mariachi or debating city infrastructure, it’s our shared stories that keep this city moving forward.
