dallas has been good to gregg and vice versa. in the fall of 1976, gregg was the first of two fellows. another terrific historian of texas who i believe may be somewhere out there in the webinar audience tonight, perhaps even with her students, was another great first class. it was at smu where gregg finished his second book published by the yale in 1998, the first scholarly biography of the father of texas in more than seven decades. the book won major prizes and in its success was a boon to the center, a debt that we owe gregg still. the particular focus of politics and society. he has expertise in his latest book, “the people's revolt," which he will discuss with us this evening. gregg is the past president of an association. although i suspect that is an honor he would have traded for just one world series ring for his beloved texas rangers baseball club, whose radio broadcast drew his attention when he was a teenager out there on the plains. it may be cliche to use the term, but gregg is a renaissance man. he is an extra o

maybe these temperatures to run up to 30 degrees in dallas still hovering just below freezing and this slow-moving system working its way to the northeast and then finally start to get a little relief as we head into saturday moving above freezing and maybe 41 degrees in the dallas area and then as we head into sunday may be getting near 60 degrees. so that would be some good news in the models hold maybe some 70 degree readings by next week but now that cold air is moving along the eastern seaboard combined with the moisture and they've got some winter storm warnings going up some freezing in that mix there in red and certainly going to be a mess through tomorrow morning more snow along the line all the purple there as well and that will continue these cases the system rolls across running into that cold air back out west we go you see the storm system approaching our area right now most are rain in far northern california keeping it dry right now, but likely going to see that rain moving in later tonight into early tomorrow morning that kind of another quick hitter coming through lat
