Over 6% of Missouri students now homeschooled, report says | Missouri
SUMMARY: Homeschooling has surged in Missouri, with at least 61,000 students, or 6% of the school-age population, now homeschooled, according to a report from the PRiME Center at Saint Louis University. This rise began during the COVID-19 pandemic but has persisted. The number of homeschooled students has doubled since 2019, with no sign of a decline. Despite Missouri’s lack of enrollment data collection for homeschooling, the study uses estimates to highlight the shift in education attitudes. This growing trend signals a permanent change in Missouri’s educational landscape, prompting a need for policymakers to understand the numbers.

Precautionary boil advisory issued for parts of St. Louis
SUMMARY: A major water main break in St. Louis is affecting multiple neighborhoods in both North and South St. Louis County. The 36-inch main break, located under the interstate, is causing low water pressure in areas like Jeff Vander Lou, Benton Park, and Carondelet. While no contamination has been detected, a boil water advisory has been issued for impacted areas, and the advisory will remain until water samples are analyzed, which could take 24 hours. Crews are working to manage the situation, but there is no word on when the advisory will be lifted.
According to city officials, the water main break has an impact on a total of six different neighborhoods. At this point, it is unclear when repairs will be completed.

St. Louis Forecast
SUMMARY: The discussion focuses on the concept of “bomb cyclones,” rapid storm formations impacting the Northwest with significant snowfall, ideal for ski resorts. As a storm system moves southeast, it brings cold air and light rain to areas east of Greenville, Illinois. Temperatures are forecasted to drop 10-15 degrees, leading to a windy and chilly afternoon with highs in the low 50s. The next day may see snow flurries in central and northern Illinois, with colder temperatures expected.

What the West Coast bomb cyclone and atmospheric river may mean for St. Louis
SUMMARY: A significant weather change is expected Wednesday as temperatures dip closer to November norms. Meanwhile, a bomb cyclone is intensifying in the Pacific Northwest, paralleling an atmospheric river that will soon grab headlines. This explosive storm, equivalent to a category 4 hurricane, has dropped nearly 60 millibars in 24 hours, resulting in extreme winds, waves, and rainfall. The atmospheric river is bringing a narrow band of tropical moisture stretching over 4,000 miles, leading to anticipated rainfall of 8-12 inches in valleys and substantial snowfall in higher elevations. Cold air will follow but won’t linger long, allowing for a warm-up by the weekend.
A significant weather change is expected on Wednesday as temperatures dip closer to November norms. However, this shift is minor compared to the massive storm hitting the Pacific Northwest.
