SUMMARY: Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to resign and drop federal felony indictments against the president-elect related to classified intel and the 2021 insurrection. Despite this, Donald Trump’s felony convictions in New York remain, with his lawyers seeking to dismiss charges or transfer the case to federal court. The future remains uncertain. The transcript reflects on Richard Nixon’s legacy, recalling his infamous declaration, “I am not a crook,” during his own legal troubles. Nixon’s attempts to control his public image in the face of investigations serve as a historical parallel to the current political landscape, particularly with the GOP Congress’s reluctance to investigate Trump.

Fifty-one years ago, an American president uttered five words that would ultimately define his legacy. The phrase is now something of an ironic punchline.

SUMMARY: As we approach next weekend, cold air is expected, prompting discussions about snowfall in November in the St. Louis area. November serves as a transitional month from warm to cold weather, with notable early snowfall events. The earliest measurable snow occurred on October 20, 1916, while the first inch or more fell on November 5, 1951. Typically, November snowstorms start with cold rain that can turn into wet snow as temperatures drop—sometimes leading to significant accumulations. Noteworthy storms include the 2018 snowfall and the historic ice and snowstorm of November 30, 2006, highlighting the month’s unpredictable weather patterns.

November is still very much a transition month, as the warm air fades and the cold makes more frequent visits. With a shot of cold air set for later this week, it’s not too early to think of snow around these parts.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Gary Frank forecasts rain and strong winds impacting the workweek’s beginning. Morning commuters should expect delays due to light showers and potential heavier downpours from 6 to 9 a.m. Wind gusts will rise to 35-40 mph later in the day. Although the rain will taper off after the morning, strong winds may persist, especially in Central Missouri. The day will remain warm before cooler temperatures arrive midweek. Expected rainfall is around half an inch, with dry intervals throughout the day. Commuters should plan for a slow morning and handle windy conditions with loose objects.

Clouds and warm air remain in place as rain starts to fill in overnight. Windy conditions are expected later in the morning Monday.
