Word on the streets of Austin is that construction has officially begun on a major expansion project at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This past Monday, crews broke ground on a 12,000-square-foot expansion of the Barbara Jordan Terminal's Arrivals and Departures Hall. The project aims to increase capacity for travelers waiting in TSA security screening lines, which should come as welcome news for anyone who's experienced those long queues during peak travel times.
The heat wave gripping our city continues to intensify. We're currently under a Heat Advisory as temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees today, with heat index values climbing to around 105. This follows yesterday's record-setting temperatures, and unfortunately, the triple-digit heat is forecast to persist throughout the weekend. City officials have opened cooling centers at various library and parks facilities across Austin to help residents escape the dangerous conditions. Remember to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, and check on elderly neighbors and those without air conditioning.
Speaking of our changing climate, it's worth noting that these springtime heat waves are becoming more common as our planet warms. While May typically brings pleasant temperatures to Central Texas, we're seeing these extreme heat events earlier and more frequently than in decades past.
Looking back at weather events earlier this month, some Austin neighborhoods are still cleaning up after powerful storms moved through the area on May 1st, bringing hail and heavy rainfall to parts of Travis and Williamson counties.
In media news, The Texas Tribune has acquired the Austin Monitor, ensuring that local journalism focused on city issues will continue serving our community. In a media landscape where local news sources are increasingly scarce, this development represents a commitment to keeping Austinites informed about matters that directly impact their lives.
As we look ahead to the weekend, remember to take heat precautions if you're attending any outdoor events. With little chance of rain in the forecast, it's going to be a scorcher.
