Severe Thunderstorms Expected to Impact East Texas This Weekend and Midweek A major storm system is set to affect East Texas this weekend, with another expected to arrive midweek, bringing the possibility of severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. Two distinct periods of severe weather have been identified as First Alert Weather Days: tonight through Saturday, and again on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first storm system, originating from the west, will create conditions favorable for severe thunderstorm development across East Texas. Scattered severe thunderstorms are anticipated to form this evening and persist through Saturday. The primary threats include damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. While the strongest storm activity may initially focus northwest of the region, thunderstorms are expected to spread southeastward into East Texas overnight and through Saturday morning. Heavy rainfall is forecast to accompany this system, with widespread totals of 1 to 3 inches or more, and locally heavier amounts possible from slow-moving storms. This much-needed precipitation will help alleviate ongoing drought conditions in the area, though rapid accumulation in certain regions could lead to flooding, particularly where storms linger. The most significant threat for severe weather will occur this evening through Saturday morning, especially northwest of Interstate 30. Storm intensity is expected to decrease gradually as Saturday progresses, though isolated strong thunderstorms remain possible through the afternoon and evening. A second storm system will approach East Texas by midweek. Currently over the southwestern United States, this system will move eastward and merge with another from the north, creating conditions for renewed severe thunderstorm activity.#east_texas #first_alert_weather_days #kltv #ktre #interstate_30

Iran's president apologises to neighbours for conflict after huge explosions rock Tehran airport Explosions have shaken Tehran's main commercial airport, with witnesses reporting a burning plane on the tarmac. The Israeli military confirmed a new wave of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure in Tehran and Isfahan, marking its first public announcement of such actions today. Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it struck an oil tanker in the Gulf, calling the attack a response to the vessel's disregard of warnings to avoid the Strait of Hormuz. The strait, a critical energy shipping route, has seen heightened tensions as Iran threatened to destroy ships attempting to pass through. In the UAE, Dubai International Airport partially resumed operations after earlier suspensions, though confusion persists over flight status. The Dubai Media Office denied reports of airport damage, stating the incident was minor with no injuries. Emirates airline announced it would resume operations, urging passengers to proceed to the airport if their flights were confirmed. However, the airport itself temporarily halted all services, citing safety concerns for passengers and staff. Iran's president, Pezeshkian, addressed the situation, apologizing to neighboring countries for attacks and vowing not to strike them unless attacked first. He emphasized regional cooperation to achieve peace and condemned support for Israel or the U.S., calling it a path to "dishonor and lack of freedom." Shortly after his remarks, Qatar's defense ministry reported intercepting a missile attack, adding to the region's escalating tensions. The conflict has disrupted global energy flows, with the Strait of Hormuz witnessing a standstill in shipping. U.S.#iran #israel #strait_of_hormuz #qatar #tehran_airport

Iran and Israel Exchange Strikes Amid Escalating Conflict Explosions rocked Tehran hours after dramatic footage showed flames engulfing Mehrabad International Airport, as Israel launched a “broad-scale wave of strikes” targeting Iranian military infrastructure. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed using over 80 fighter jets in pre-dawn attacks, focusing on sites including a military university, missile storage facilities, and command centers. Iranian state media reported the strikes, with footage showing smoke rising from the airport and explosions in western Tehran. The extent of damage to the airport remains unclear, though Iranian officials claimed it was hit. Iran’s leadership responded with retaliatory strikes, targeting Israeli and Gulf nations. Regional allies such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE reported repelling attacks, while the U.S. military claimed to have struck more than 3,000 Iranian targets since the conflict began. President Donald Trump intensified pressure on Tehran, vowing no negotiations without “unconditional surrender.” Meanwhile, Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, dismissed U.S. demands, stating, “They will take their dreams of our unconditional surrender to the grave.” Pezeshkian’s remarks came amid a power vacuum following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with a three-person council temporarily governing the country. Iranian state media highlighted the damage to Tehran’s sports center, describing debris-filled rooms, a ruined gym, and a destroyed library. The IRIB report also noted a mosque was “completely damaged.” Israeli officials emphasized the strikes targeted military assets, including the Imam Hossein military university, which trains Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers.#iran #israel #mehrabad_international_airport #supreme_leader_ali_khamenei #emirates_airlines

Wrexham's FA Cup clash with Chelsea sparks excitement as promotion push continues Wrexham captain Dominic Hyam has described Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Chelsea as an “amazing distraction” from the club’s pursuit of promotion, highlighting the significance of facing one of England’s top teams. The Red Dragons, managed by Phil Parkinson, have secured three consecutive Championship victories to solidify their position in the top six, aiming for a historic fourth consecutive promotion. Despite the focus on their league campaign, the FA Cup tie offers a unique opportunity to create more memorable moments for the club. Hyam, a summer signing from Blackburn, emphasized the value of competing against elite opposition. “It could be deemed as a distraction, but what an amazing distraction it is,” he said. “You want to play against the best teams and the best players. It’s what you work hard for, playing against Premier League teams in the FA Cup.” The 30-year-old forward, who scored his first Wrexham goal in the third round against Nottingham Forest, expressed hope that the club could one day achieve similar status as a Premier League team facing such challenges. The match against Chelsea holds special significance for Wrexham, as it marks another chance to etch their name into the club’s history. The team has already overcome a Premier League side this season by defeating Nottingham Forest in the third round, a feat that resonates deeply with the squad. Hyam recalled how manager Parkinson shared clips of the club’s past FA Cup triumphs, including the iconic 1992 upset against Arsenal when Wrexham was still in the Fourth Division. “Before the Forest game, the gaffer showed us a lot of clips on the history of Wrexham and some of the big games that happened here many years ago,” he said.#fa_cup #wrexham #dominic_hyam #phil_parkinson #chelsea

Polska tenisistka czeka na to osiem miesięcy! Został ostatni krok Katarzyna Kawa awansowała do półfinału turnieju WTA 125 w Antalyi po zwycięstwie nad Tamarą Zidansek. Reprezentantka Polski pokonała rywarkę 6:1, 6:4 i zagra w kolejnym meczu o miejsce w finale. To będzie jej pierwsza szansa na awans do finału od blisko ośmiu miesięcy. W turnieju Kawa zaczęła od zwycięstwa nad Egipcjaną Mayar Sherif (6:3, 1:6, 6:2) i Turkiną Ipek Oz (6:4, 6:0). W ćwierćfinale spotkała się z Słowinką Zidansek, która w 2021 roku doszła do półfinału Roland Garros. Mecz potoczył się inaczej niż poprzednie spotkania między tymi tenisistkami, gdzie Zidansek wygrywała dwa poprzednie mecze. Kawa straciła podanie w pierwszym gemie, ale wykorzystała trzy z czterech break pointów, by wygrać pierwszy set 6:1. Drugi set był bardziej zacięty, ale Kawa odzyskała przewagę i wygrała 6:4. Dzięki zwycięstwu Kawa zagra w półfinale Challengera w Antalyi. Sugerując się danymi z oficjalnej strony WTA, miała 78,3 proc. skuteczności przy pierwszym serwisie i wygrała 53,8 proc. punktów przy drugim podaniu. Zidansek wygrała tylko 16,7 proc. takich punktów. Awans do półfinału zapewnił Kawie miejsce na 137. pozycji w rankingu WTA. W przypadku zwycięstwa w całym turnieju jej pozycja wzrosłaby do 126. miejsca. Rywalką Kawy w półfinale będzie Ukrainka Anhelina Kalinina, która pokonała Pannę Udvardy z Węgier 7:6, 7:5. W drugiej połowie drabinki spotkają się Ołeksandra Olijnikowa (Ukraina) i Moyuka Uchijima (Japonia). Do tej pory Kawa nie wygrała żadnego turnieju rangi WTA 125 lub wyżej. W poprzednim sezonie dotarła do finału turnieju w Bogocie (WTA 250) i Bastadzie (WTA 125), ale musiała uznać wyższość Camili Osorio (3:6, 3:6) i Elisabetty Cocciaretto (3:6, 4:6).#antalya #katarzyna_kawa #turniej_wta_125 #tamar_zidansek #wta

Katarzyna Kawa awansowała do półfinała turnieju WTA w Antalyi, pokonując Słowenkę Tamarę Zidanšek w ćwierćfinale. Zawodniczka z Krynicy zdroju zakończyła spotkanie 6:1, 6:4, zatrzymując się na 76 minut. W trakcie meczu Kawa pokonała rywalkę, która w pierwszej partii zaczęła się gubić, a jej gra została znacznie obniżona przez napięcie i frustrację. Kawa, która wcześniej straciła punkty z powodu serii siedmiu porażek, zyskała kluczowe punkty w turnieju, który był dla niej bardzo istotny. W Antalyi wygrała trzeci mecz, pokonując m.in. Mayar Sherif z Egiptu. W ćwierćfinale jej szanse były porównywane z Tamary Zidanšek, która zaczęła mecz z przewagą, ale szybko straciła kontrakt. W trakcie spotkania Zidanšek przełamowała serwis Kawy, ale ta natychmiast odpowiedziała. Kawa grała z linii końcowej, narzucała tempo i rozbijała rywalkę. W drugiej partii Słowenka zaczęła się gubić, a jej proste zagrania lądowały poza kortem lub w siatkę. To doprowadziło do 6:1 i 3:0 w korzystnej dla Polki sytuacji. Kawa miała dwa breaki zaliczki, co było ogromnym kapitałem. Jednak w trakcie meczu jej gra się załamała, a Zidanšek, choć bardzo nerwowa, nie przegrywała. W dziewiątym gemie Kawa miała break pointa, ale Zidanšek uzyskała przewagę, popełniła podwójny błąd serwisowy i wpakowała smeczę spod siatki w tę samą siatkę. Kawa wygrała ten gem i za chwilę dorzuciła ostatni, kończąc mecz 6:1, 6:4. W sobotę Kawa powalczy w finale z Anheliną Kalininą. Ma z Ukrainką bilans 2:0, ale spotkania miały miejsce w 2019 roku. Kawa, która w 2025 roku była blisko awansu do top 100, kontynuuje walkę o to, by w pierwszym sezonie swojej kariery znaleźć się w gronie 100 najlepszych tenisistek świata. W turnieju w Antalyi Kawa pokonała m.in. Mayar Sherif, a jej wynik w ćwierćfinale był kluczowy dla jej postępu w rankingu.#katarzyna_kawa #tamera_zidanek #turniej_wta_w_antalyi #mayar_sherif #anhelina_kalinina
