The Lead May 9, 2022: We're dancing into a new week, not short of Kerrville controversies

It was some weekend of heat, humidity and icky air quality. On Saturday, the high of 99 tied a record for May 7 — set in 1984. Sunday's record of 101, set in 1998, was in no danger of falling, with a high of 96, but it was an ugly hazy day out there. Things won't get much better this week with highs reaching into the mid-90s — or hotter. And the other bad news? Well, we've got no rain in the forecast for the next seven to 10 days. Since December of 2021, Kerr County has experienced five consecutive months with less than an inch of rain per month. May is typically one of the wettest months of the year, but that's looking unlikely at this point.
