Hello again, Cedar Park-Leander! Important update: You all, as readers, have made the Cedar Park-Leander Daily so successful that it is my honor to announce the next stage of the newsletter. Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Cedar Park-Leander Daily. Although I have loved getting to know this community, we want to pass the torch to someone truly local to write about Cedar Park-Leander long term. So if you’re interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and not as warm. High: 79 Low: 63.

Here are the top three stories today in Cedar Park-Leander:

1. The Leander Fire Department warned of high-to-extreme fire danger on Sunday, Mar. 27, and a red flag warning was in effect in the greater Austin area due to an increased risk of fire. As hot, dry, and windy conditions continue, fire officials are warning of potential fire dangers. When a red flag warning is in effect, residents are encouraged to avoid barbecuing and lawn mowing and should be mindful when disposing of cigarettes. (KXAN)
2. The Thin Asphalt Overlay Project, started on Mar. 24, is giving some Cedar Park streets a fresh layer of asphalt. Construction will be on the Cedar Park One/Carriage Hills subdivisions between Lakeline Boulevard and Bagdad Road, located south of New Hope Drive. The project is funded through annual pavement maintenance funds as well as 2015 voter-approved bonds.(Press Release Desk)
