AUSTIN (KXAN) – An overcast sky along with warm and humid air greeted early risers on this Sunday. Spotty areas of light rain dotted the radar. Nothing was measured.

Most lows fell to the middle to upper 70s. Both Austin reporting stations recorded a low of 78°.

Today’s forecast is for a mostly cloudy sky with a 10% chance of rain, similar to Saturday’s outlook. Some minor clearing will take place this afternoon but it does appear that the clouds will win out again today.

Highs Saturday were a few degrees lower than the forecast with Camp Mabry’s high reaching 90°, 7° below normal. Yesterday was the 18th day of the 19 in July where the high was below normal.

The heat index will reach between 100° and 106° from the interstate eastward, with higher heat indices in Fayette County (106° to 110°). Most Hill Country heat index readings will peak in the middle to upper 90s.

This Week

A ridge of high pressure aloft will be the main weather player during the week. A dry forecast is ahead from Monday to Friday. Most highs will heat up to the mid to upper 90s.

The latest guidance indicates the potential for a tropical disturbance moving across the northern Gulf next weekend. For now, we have a very low chance of rain Friday night to Saturday. It’s too early to suggest this will happen since the disturbance has not developed.

Sahara Dust

There will be a little more of it today and a slightly higher concentration tomorrow. But, the rest of the week looks to be mostly dust-free.

Teddy Swims is an American singer-songwriter. He is known for his creative blends of pop, country, and soul. Swims started his musical career in Georgia in 2011. He blew up in 2019 after he rapped over a track for his friend Addy Maxwell. 2019 is also the year he adopted the stage name “Swims,” which stands for “Someone Who Isn’t Me Sometimes,” referring to his on-stage persona. The same year, he self-recorded his first solo single, “Night-Off,” and was signed with Warner Records before the year ended.

Swims’ most recent album is I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy. It was originally released in 2023 with 10 tracks. Since then, Swims has released two different versions of the same album. Both new versions feature additional tracks. His single “Lose Control” was his first song to peak at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also made history by becoming the first song to spend 100 weeks on the chart.

Opening for Teddy Swims is Irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot. Cian Ducrot is originally from Cork, Ireland, and gained popularity in 2022 after going viral on TikTok. His single “All For You” reached #2 on the Irish Singles Chart. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Ducrot won an award for Best R&B Song after co-writing on SZA’s single “Saturn.” On August 1st, he released his third studio album, Little Dreaming. He opened his set with three new songs, one of them being “Your Eyes” from his new album. Ducrot told the crowd that this was probably the hottest concert he’s ever performed. Notedly, he was wearing a Terry Black’s hat, a well-known local Austin, Texas, barbecue joint.

At about 8:30 PM, Teddy Swims took to the stage. He opened his set with “Not Your Man,” a track from his album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2). He also performed older songs such as “Devil in a Dress” from the EP Sleep is Exhausting (2022) and the single “Bed on Fire” (2021). Before starting “Need You More,” Swims dedicated the new song to the mother of his child. When he sang “Black & White,” he invited one of his backup vocalists, Myles, to perform the part originally sung by Muni Long. While introducing “Small Hands,” Teddy told the crowd that he had yet to make it through this song without crying. “Small Hands” was written about how much he loves his son, and like he said he would, he did, in fact, cry during the performance.

Towards the end of the show, Swims had two fans pull a random letter and number. Each combination corresponded with a different cover the band would play. The song that was decided was “Still the One” by Shania Twain. Swims and his band performed it as if it were their own. Shania would have been proud. As he wrapped the show up, “Your Kind of Crazy” began with Teddy sitting on a toilet. Mid-song, he started throwing “poop” into the crowd, assuming it was a commemorative item of sorts. He performed his top hit “Lose Yourself” before leaving the stage. Swims and his band returned for a three-song encore and closed the set with “The Door.”

Northcross Mall was once a haven for Austin's youth. Now it lives on only in memories.

AUSTIN, Texas — Ask any long-time Austinite, and they can probably tell you about a beloved business you can't go to anymore. The city's constant changes have closed the doors on many restaurants and stores.

But one spot was a home to both – and a haven for the city's youth – for decades.

Northcross Mall on West Anderson Lane opened in 1975 and was demolished in the mid-2000s. Recently featured in a docuseries about the 1991 "Yogurt Shop Murders," which happened a few blocks away, the mall was once a hotspot for kids and teens growing up in the Capital City.

Now a Walmart and its parking lot take up most of the same space.

A Reddit thread created a few years ago served as a place for Austinites to swap stories about the mall.

"My family would have birthday parties in the food court, go ice skating, play at tilt, wander the mall, ride the train. Takes me back," one commenter said. "I also really miss Cozzoli's [Pizza] with the crumbled, if you will, hamburger they’d put on their pizza."

Another commenter also lamented the lost of the pizzeria.

"Got a pizza the size of me for my bday from Cozzoli’s one year, highlight of childhood...watched 'Titanic' at the movie theater like 5 times when it came out...got my ears pierced at Claire’s," they said, later adding, "Good ‘ol Northcross."

A Facebook post made last year shared photos of the mall in its heyday and was met with more than 100 memories from former mallrats – from time spent at Oshman's sporting goods store to midnight screenings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "The Song Remains the Same."

In 2007, shortly before Northcross Mall's demolition, a man named Doug Tash revisited the mall to pay his final respects to a childhood hangout. The visit became a short documentary called "Mall Man," uploaded to YouTube in 2020.

"When I first started going to the mall, I was so young. It was the '70s," Doug Tash says at the beginning of the documentary. "I really loved the mall back when I was a kid. It was the only place I could go to get away from my parents."

"It was a whole scene. It was where the youth of Austin would all go and congregate, at that mall," Louis Tash, Doug Tash's brother, says later, standing in front of a sign that reads, "No Wal-Mart! Develop it neighborly. Develop it right."

Shortly after, Doug Tash stands in the middle of the mall's dried-out fountain.

"This is the first time I've ever stood here. I guess it'll be the last," he says. "I guess this is where Walmart's tool section will be."

But before the documentary's end, he also gets wistful, seeming to recognize that sometimes, places are better in memories.

Sitting outside a shuttered Beall's, Doug Tash proclaims, "I guess the best thing about this place was ... my youth."

In 2009, KVUE reported that the mall had been divided in half, with Chaparral Ice and the Norris Conference Center settled into a renovated east side and the Walmart planned for the other side. By 2011, the Walmart had opened.

Today, both Chaparral Ice and the Norris Conference Center still stand behind the Walmart. The shopping center also includes an Anytime Fitness, Guitar Center and a handful of restaurants like Louisiana Crab Shack, Ph?Natic and IchiUmi Sushi & Ramen.

A total of 42 children and one adult were on the bus when the crash occurred.

AUSTIN, Texas — Seventeen people are injured after a school bus rolled over near Sandy Creek on Wednesday afternoon.

According to Austin-Travis County EMS, officials received a call reporting the crash at around 3:15 p.m. According to the Travis County Sheriff's Office, the crash occurred in the 22300 block of Nameless Road, near Palamino Ranch Drive and Honeycomb Lane.

A total of 42 children and one adult were on the bus when the crash occurred.

Twelve people – 11 children and the bus driver – were taken to the hospital immediately following the crash. Ten people were taken from the scene, while two more children were transported from the reunification center with minor injuries. In an update on Wednesday night, Leander ISD said 17 people had been taken to the hospital. Two people sustained serious injuries, but all were in stable conditions.

Of those taken to the hospital, some were taken to Dell Children's Center, Texas Children's Hospital North Campus, Dell Children's North Campus and the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the bus was traveling southbound on Nameless Road when it left the roadway on a curve, causing it to roll over.

"We're here in force, and we're supporting our parents," Travis County Chief Emergency Management Coordinator Eric Carter said on Wednesday.

A reunification center was set up at Round Mountain Baptist Church in Leander, and all people who do not need to be taken to the hospital were taken to the church.

Francisca Suarez is a grandmother who was reunited with her grandson at the church.

"I believe the kids don't ... I don't believe they want to go on the bus ... especially my grandson doesn't want to," Suarez said. "It's very sad that this happens on the first day. So much emotion."

According to Leander ISD Superintendent Bruce Gearing, the bus had seatbelts as it was a 2024 model. He also said the campus was mobilizing counseling services to assist students affected by the incident.

KVUE learned that the bus originated from Bagdad Elementary School in Leander. Wednesday was the first day of the new school year for the school.

Gearing sent the following letter to families in the Bagdad Elementary School community Wednesday night:

"Dear Bagdad Elementary Families,

"We have some difficult news to share. This afternoon, bus #750 was involved in an accident on Nameless Road while transporting students after school. First responders, school, and district staff were immediately on the scene, and our staff are with the impacted students and their families.

"As of the latest update, a total of 17 people were transported by Austin-Travis County EMS. Two people sustained serious injuries, but as of now, all individuals with injuries are in stable condition. A reunification site was established and shared with impacted families directly, and all students have been reunited with their families. Our focus remains on student safety.

"This part of our Leander ISD family has been through so much already this summer with the floods. The tragedy this afternoon is really breaking our hearts. We want each of those students and their families to know that our prayers are with them, our thoughts are with them, and we will do everything we can in our power to support them. And we will be here for all of those students who are affected, their friends, and their families.

"We are working closely with Counseling Services to ensure our students and staff are supported. Additional counselors and social workers will be available at Bagdad Elementary on Thursday, Aug. 14, to assist any student in need of support.

"Our counselors remind us how important it is for students to feel safe expressing their feelings. We encourage families to listen with care, offer understanding, and provide reassurance. Together, we can support our students and help them navigate this difficult time.

"Thank you for your patience as we develop further understanding of this situation. Should you need additional support, please do not hesitate to contact Principal de la Garza-Conness and the Bagdad administration team."

DPS said the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
