Good morning, High Point.

Triad leaders plan to promote youth programs and visibility efforts this summer to improve community safety.

They expect the initiatives to provide essential support for young people across local neighborhoods.

A local farmer said recent rain brought hope to drought-stricken fields as community members work to recover; WFMY News 2's Hannah Hill interviewed the farmer about the weather's impact on the growing season.

Officials said the city added 28 parking spaces outside the bus depot (based on feedback from downtown businesses) to ease parking concerns for customers and employees in the area.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns parents not to leave children in cars as temperatures can quickly reach triple-digit levels and cause heatstroke, noting that 31 children died in 2025 (according to the agency).

The U.S. Men's National Team will face Senegal in a friendly match on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are available while local fans join in as the Triad gears up for more World Cup action.
