Good morning, Irving! Let's get you started this Sunday with everything you need to know going on around Irving today.

First, today's weather:

Sunny and warmer. High: 63 Low: 39.

Here are the top five stories in Irving today:

  1. A fire in Northwest Dallas early Saturday left one individual dead, authorities say. Dallas-Fire Rescue reported to the 1400 block of Briar Cliff Road, where they discovered serious flames on one side of a home. Fire fighters were able to get the blaze under control, but a 70-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her daughter was able to escape the home. (FOX 4 Dallas)
  2. Four Seasons will soon end its management of the Las Colinas hotel and resort. The famous hoteliers have been overseeing the property since the `80s. The company that owns the property, Extell, is searching for another luxury brand to take over management of the facilities. (WFAA.com)
  3. Did you make it to The War on Drugs concert in Irving on Friday? Relive the glory or get the details to imagine you were there with the review at the Dallas Observer.
