A temperature drop for D-FW, a DART bus crash injured five, and Fort Worth tops Dallas among large U.S. cities for economic growth

from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News

A mix of sun and clouds today with a cold front bringing a chance for an afternoon thunderstorm. It will also bring a little relief in the temperature for a few days. Today’s high will be 89. Clouds and a chance for more rain and rumbles of thunder this evening with a low of 70.  The high won’t get out of the 80s tomorrow. Thursday will be back in the 90s but another cold front is on the way that may drop temperatures back to the 80s by the time the holiday weekend comes around. In other news, A DART bus crashed at White Rock Station on Monday morning, injuring five people. At least one person had to be extricated from the vehicle. It was not immediately clear how many people were on the bus, or what caused the crash; Dallas plans to increase its budget to maintain its buildings after discovering earlier this year the city is spending half of what it needs to keep up with all of its facilities. The recommended budget includes about $36 million for the facilities and real estate management department, which is about $2 million more than last year’s budget; with less than three weeks to go before the second special legislative session ends, Gov. Greg Abbott is still waiting for nearly all of his priorities to land on his desk; nd Fort Worth’s political and business leaders have touted the city’s economic success for years, but new data is backing up those assertions. Among large American cities, Cowtown ranks fifth best for economic growth, buoyed largely by strong marks in education and international trade, according to a new study from Coworking Cafe.
