Severe Weather Possible Wednesday Afternoon

WEDNESDAY MORNING

The day will start out much the same as the past two mornings... warm and muggy! It will be mostly cloudy in the morning and there may even be a few spots of drizzle. Temperatures will start in the low 70's and warm into the upper 70's by lunchtime.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING

We will see a few breaks in the clouds and that will allow temperatures to warm into the mid 80's. It will once again be very warm and sticky.

A weak front to the north and a dry line to the west will be the focus of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. I expect severe storms to develop west near Abilene in the afternoon along the dry line. Read more

Accuser of priests agrees to settle

“We hope for healing and the well-being of the victim and his family”

A man who accused two Fort Worth Roman Catholic Diocese priests of abusing him when he was a teenager has tentatively agreed to an out-of-court financial settlement, his lawyer said Thursday.

Terms of the settlement will not be disclosed, said his Dallas attorney, Tahira Khan Merritt.

The man, who is currently in a prison mental facility, said in two lawsuits that he was abused beginning when he was 13 by the Rev. James Hanlon and the Rev. Thomas Teczar. The men, at different times, led St. Rita's Catholic Church in Ranger, about 90 miles west of Fort Worth. Read more
