we'll have a live report from saint louis next my name is braden. >> i was five years old when i came to saint jude. i'll try and shorten down the story. so i've been having these headaches that wouldn't go away. my mom, she was just trying what? they said. your son has brain cancer. >> it was your worst fear coming to life. >> watching your child grow up is the dream of every parent. you can join the battle to save the lives of kids like braden by supporting saint jude children's research hospital. families never receive a bill from saint jude for treatment, travel, housing or ty can focus on helping their child live. >> what they have done for me, my son, my family. sorry. yeah, life is a gift, especially for a child battling cancer. >> call or go online and help save the lives of children like braden. >> now i'm 11 years old. we were actually doing the checkup for my, um, brain, and they, um, they saw something in my throat. it's thyroid cancer. >> it was heartbreaking to find out that he has cancer again, but we knew who we had behind us. it just gives me hope you can make a diffe

there is saint louis. you can see thunderstorms coming into paducah there with some icing just to the north. now, the reason why this storm has so many different types of hazards is because the temperature profile is very different. you've got temperatures in the 20s up in indianapolis and cincinnati where you have pure snow, but then where you've got all the pink, the icing, that's where those temperatures are flirting with freezing. so you're finding that rain falling as rain until it gets to the surface and it's freezing on contact. that's that freezing rain. and it is really such a burden. you know, it doesn't really take much of that ice to really cause some problems. temperatures in the 40s in nashville, 50s in memphis. and that's where you've got the thunderstorms. so the stretch of this is more than 1500 miles. we have blizzard warnings in effect for parts of kansas, including kansas city. ice storm warning across parts of south central missouri, southern illinois, where you have the ice really sta

today you've got the heavy snow trying to exit saint louis overnight tonight. and then it pushes east towards the d.c. philly metro. as you go into tomorrow morning, a line of storms, you wake up to that in atlanta. as that continues to stretch down the gulf coast. all of this exits tomorrow afternoon. you have some snow on the backside of this for some of the appalachian mountains, and that will continue through the day. the snow forecast, the footprint again, pretty far reaching, could find some totals 6 to 12in, some higher totals from parts of southern ohio going into virginia. there some totals could eclipse one foot. plus, you have all of the ice concerns as well, up to three quarters of an inch of ice that would cause problems because the ice weighs down tree limbs and power lines. so we're looking at the possibility of long standing power outages as well. >> oh my goodness. inches in ice and at least a foot of snow in some parts. that's pretty bad. all right. thank you so much. keep us posted lisa. appreciate it. all right. joining me right now is delan

so here is a live look at saint louis. again, kind of the gloomy skies. but notice here this little walkway, you've got that thin coating of ice and wintry weather on the ground there. do not worry, this is a statue, not a live person. no one is standing out there. the temperature right now, 25 degrees there. it is very cold. a lot of these areas already have that coating of ice on the ground. look at all of these locations. at least a quarter of an inch of ice. keep in mind that's not only enough to coat the roads, obviously, but also your power lines, your trees to cause power outages. and colby, kansas getting dangerously close to half an inch of ice accumulation. now, we talked about this yesterday. it's going to be that coating of ice first. then the snow is going to come down on top of it for some of these places, which makes it even more dangerous because you simply cannot see it. here's a look at what we've got. and we've got a plethora out there. we've got snow, we've got ice, we've got rain, thunderstorms and even thunder sleet in a few spots he

here's one in saint louis. it was definitely a multi-day celebration of all kinds of crafts. people would spend months putting things together that they would put on all kinds of domestic crafts. it was wonderful, wonderful and all of that wonderful money that they raised went the sanitary commissions. they bought medicine. they bought supplies for the soldiers. you know, i keep talking about socks. but that was one of the things they wanted the most. socks. and they would have medical supplies that they can when they got wounded, bandages and things like that. those were provided by sanitary commission. but what if you don't have access to some of these things and other role that women play? it kind using of their feminine wiles and. talents, shall we say, they did all kinds of sneaky things to help their men in blue or gray. hey, this is a picture. some of the female smut ers. and we'll talk a little about what they do. we'll also talk about people like this woman, antonia ford. she was a spy. i think about what i was saying earlier about the four things that a woman suppos

snow trying to peel away saint louis and it heads towards washington, d.c. for a very messy monday morning commute with some significant snow for them that they haven't seen in the last couple of years. the line of storms stretches down through atlanta and then to the gulf coast. it finally peels off of the east coast with some wraparound snow. as we go into the afternoon hours. snow totals 6 to 12in possible. again, especially in some of these higher elevations here in west virginia and virginia. as far as what's left, a lot of the heavy snow already fell in the central plains, and then we can still get some of these ice accumulations up to three quarters of an inch, which, again, would be very problematic and could cause some power outages. jessica. >> okay, a lot of dynamics at play there with that storm. elisa raffa thank you so much for that. and as alyssa mentioned, kentucky is a state that's going to get the brunt of this storm today. let's bring in alexa minton, who is now in lexington. she's a meteorologist and reporter for a cnn affiliate, wkyt. al

getting stuck in these stove burns, i was speaking with the director of operations yesterday, does saint louisys they have 3200 miles of roads to clear. that's the equivalent if you were to drive from seattle to miami or if you are in europe, you're driving from london, of course you have to take the ferry, and then go to baghdad. thatjust goes to show you how much roads they have to clear today. they are telling folks to stay off the roads. they don't think they will have this situated for than a couple of days. it's going to be cold here. but if you move further south to where we are at in southern illinois, they are dealing with an ice storm. it's on power lines, countries, there are power outages they are working with right now. this storm, even though it is moving on from east, they are still dealing the aftermath. let's show you these life pictures coming from washington, dc. a snowy scene at the capitol building there. and around the city, people, does some movement on the roads but rather tricky conditions to say the least. for more on what this �*polar vortex�* means — i'm joined by o

here on the east coast, a live look at saint louis, missouri on this wintry, wintry morning. good morning everyone. i'm kasie hunt, it's wonderful to have you with us. a brutal winter storm impacting much of the country this morning. more than 55 million people under winter weather alerts from the central u.s. to the east coast. more than 1200 flights already canceled this morning, including hundreds of flights in and out of washington, d.c. as this region prepares for up to 16in of snow possible in some parts. our city's mayor already declaring a snow emergency. federal offices in d.c. are closed because of the snow. the closures not set to impact congress, which is getting ready to certify the 2024 election results later today. further west, conditions knocked out power for more than 200,000 customers from missouri to kentucky. >> there are some really bad conditions out here. there's a lot of snow, significant amount of snow. you can see that about 2 to 3in right now. and it's rapidly coming down getting worse. i'm glad to see there's not many vehicles out here. i hope tha

although it's causing some probls, those in saint louis are taking advantage of this winter wonderland. you can see thousands of people, lots of kids gathered at a local park to sleigh sled down this hill after inches of snow dropped overnight. schools across the country have closed due to the stormy weather. kids are probably very thankful for that. don't forget, you can watch our newscast 24 seven on roku and other streaming platforms. jessica aguirre joins us now with what's coming up next at 530. yeah. right now at 530 at contra costa county, city is working hard to improve its

officials say travel in the area will be hazardous as kansas city and saint louis will be hardest hit this morning. more than 550 flights in the u.s. have already been canceled for today. the bulk of those in kansas city, saint louis and the windy city chicago more than 60 million people are under threat. and while snow and ice have been largely limited to northern states so far this winter, the storm could bring treacherous conditions from the plains all the way to the east coast, including areas less prone to winter weather. our own meteorologist, elisa raffa, brings it all down for us now. >> it's our first major winter storm of the season. with these impacts stretching from the central plains to the mid-atlantic. some of these impacts could be major or extreme. we're talking about difficulty to nearly impossible travel, heavy and blowing snow, significant ice that could cause sporadic or even long lasting power outages. the snow and the ice will continue to blow up as we go through the day. today in the central plains, some of that snow could be heavy at times. that ice could be s

the bulk of those in kansas city, saint louis and chicago.fficials say travel will be hazardous, as kansas city and saint louis will be hardest hit this morning. one kansas state trooper had a simple message watch this. >> what i want to show you, though, is that this roadway is very slick. very, very slick. so let me get some traction here and watch my feet here. ready for this? that's what we're dealing with out here. and it's not getting any better. it's getting worse. so get off the roads. >> get off the roads, he says. and for more on what's in store, let's bring in william churchill. he's a forecaster with national weather service, and he joins us from college park, maryland, just outside of washington, d.c., of course. and william, this system appears to be a complete beast. tell us what's going on. >> yeah, absolutely. thanks for having me. yeah. this is going to be a major winter storm for a large portion of the country. as you stated, the blizzard conditions are really only just getting started in kansas, impacting the, you know, ka

you could still get some additional snow even for saint louis as well.ce still a concern as we go into the overnight around kentucky, we could find additional freezing rain, which again is a problem for the power lines. that's a great concern going into the night. and as we go through the rest of the week, we have frigid air coming in behind this storm. so if we have a lot of people without power, that means no access to heat. so it could really be a concern because these temperatures look bitter cold. we're talking overnights in the single digits. jessica. >> oh, man. all right. elisa raffa, thank you very much for that. new developments tonight in the terror attack in new orleans as officials release a timeline detailing events leading up to that deadly attack and shed some light on the extensive planning that was involved. in a press briefing, the fbi revealed the attacker made two visits to new orleans new orleans in recent months using meta glasses to record bourbon street to map out that attack in advance. rafael romo is joining us now from new orl

stretching down to the gulf coast, and we still have some heavy snow from parts of cincinnati, saint louis then still wrapping into kansas city. that just keeps tacking on to its snow total. the system has been so potent. we are looking at thunder sleet right now over parts of kentucky. there. thunder, sleet, some thunder mixing in with freezing rain. just incredible to see that. it just shows you how powerful this storm is. heavy snow from cincinnati and indianapolis. again, still snow wrapping around missouri. and then you've got the line of storms stretching south. we've already had snow totals over a foot in parts of kansas, 14 more than 14in in manhattan, kansas, 18in in north chapman. and we've also already had ice reports over a half an inch in parts of kansas and missouri. this is incredibly important to monitor because when ice gets over a quarter of an inch, it really weighs down those tree limbs and power lines and could cause a problem with power. and we are already starting to see that we have some power problems for parts of kentucky, illinois, missouri, and even for the seve

and then winter storm watches as we have snow on the backside of this ice from saint louis back westwardand then thunderstorms to the south. this all heads to the north and east for could be another big storm for boston and new york city by the end of the week. so we're in the 60s and 70s southern california typically cool for parts of the northern plains. look at fargo zero, and then we've got the wind, the temperatures dropping off below freezing, setting the stage for that winter storm. and as it heads to the north and east, we've got lake effect snow into tuesday, upstate new york. and then by the end of the week, new york and boston could see crippling snow. so we're sitting pretty nice with not only slowly warming temperatures, but a break from the rain. 48 san francisco, 45 in hayward and half moon bay. what a view. low clouds and fog. the sun coming up there. 39. petaluma, 37. in livermore. and from our exploratorium camera looking at a partly cloudy day today. a few degrees of warming, gusty offshore winds for us. on tuesday. we'll probably see a wind advisory, but no fire conce

albuquerque is at 21, and it is 14 degrees in saint louis and kansas city.that bitterly cold air moving across the country while here in martinez, we're going to see a nice little warming trend throughout the late morning into the afternoon. at 3:00, we're at 61 degrees. and then seeing those temperatures quickly dipping as we approach sunset into the evening, but all staying clear throughout the day and highs that are still above what's normal for the middle of january, reaching into the mid to upper 60s, upper 60s for the south bay. the warmer spot will be morgan hill, gilroy, san martin at 68 degrees and 66, in santa rosa. tomorrow is about the same as we continue with the mild temperatures and sunshine, but then looking at our long range forecast and what's ahead. unfortunately, we're still not seeing any rain. and if it continues on this track, this may be the driest january we've had on record, or at least in the top five, with really not getting any significant rainfall, not only here but across the state, and the temperatures will be cooling off. we

of several places where schools are already closed as people try to dig out, i should say that saint louis in kansas city, missouri, crews are still expected to need plenty of time to plow the snow. the storm prompted the kansas department of transportation to issue a statewide advisory urging people to avoid travel unless it's absolutely necessary and an emergency. meteorologist kari hall is tracking that storm. kari. really tough conditions for those folks. yes, and it was a fairly significant storm. now the cold air is blasting in, and we're still seeing the snow now moving across illinois, indiana, ohio and points off towards the east. and then farther to the south. they'veve been dealing wh some not only snow, but ice as well. that can be very dangerous for travel. and then we take a look at the temperatures coming in behind this storm system. and we're seeing it in the teens and 20s for the high temperature today, with some of those lows near zero. so this is very dangerously cold weather. and then we're seeing it also spreading over toward denver with some snow that's coming down to

right in the middle of january day, where our temperatures are in saint louis and the teens, chicago is at a whole five degrees right now, and we've seen the wind chills in some of those areas below zero. so it is really brutal. but even though we're starting out cool, our high temperatures today will be above what we typically see for this date in san francisco. the normal high temperature is 58 degrees, will be up to 63, and one of the warmer spots, san jose, will be eight degrees above what's normal. so looking nice and mild for later today. tomorrow is a repeat of today. we continue with the warmer than normal temperatures. while we're still not going to see any rain coming in high pressure blocking that storm track, keeping it well to the north, and by the end of next week, we may possibly see some rain coming close. but it looks like as of now, we're still not going to see any rain. so we take a look at the temperatures that go from upper 60s in morgan hill to low 60s for the weekend, and once again, it's going to be breezy, so just keep that in mind if you're making some outdo

and, you know, and this was the time of the. 2017, you know, um, a 1917, i should say, east saint louis, you know, when blacks were burnt out in terms of the town being made lily white, um, the same thing with, you know, 1921 and tulsa, oklahoma, black wall street. so, you know, there was all of this racism going on and the statement relates to the fact that the solution for, quote, the problem was not intermarriage. that's what the statement related to the solution to the problem was not intermarriage. it was about independence. it was about equity. it was about justice, and it was about fairness within american society. >> doctor julius garvey and professor justin hansford, we'll continue to follow this not only for the next week or so, but if you indeed reach out to the trump administration or reach out to roger stone, who has the president elect's ear, let us know. we'll continue to follow it. thank you so much for your time this morning. entire communities and their history are gone. after the fires in los angeles. at least the tangible elements of history. i'll speak with the one

we're talking about places like washington, d.c., with some major impacts from kansas city to saint louiswe're talking about impossible travel, blowing and heavy snow, significant ice that will cause power outages. ice is heavy on tree limbs and on power lines, and it will take the power out in some locations. we even have some parts of the southern illinois going into kentucky with extreme impacts possible. we're talking about disruptions to daily life because that ice could be so severe. look at the stretch of all of the winter alerts that we have. all that pink is a winter storm warning, mostly for some of that heavy snow across parts of kansas, missouri and then stretching into ohio and kentucky. we also have an ice storm warning for parts of south central missouri and southern illinois, where we could accumulate significant, crippling ice. all of these alerts stretch again more than 1300 miles, so pretty far reaching for this storm. it really starts to pop up overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. that's where we'll start to find some of that snow and ice. and the moisture really p

in the midwest, kansas city, saint louis. the only city out west to make this list salt lake city., zillow takes into account a number of factors here, including home prices, how fast homes are selling, how fast they're being built, and also job growth, which is an important indicator of future demand. now, as i mentioned, buffalo leads this list for the second year in a row. i know that's going to be music to the ears of buffalo bills superfan harry enten. and as far as why this is happening, it's because inventory is really low relative to before covid. also, they're adding a lot of jobs relative to how many homes are being built. prices were up by 6% last year. zillow expects another 3% increase this year. hartford is supposed to have an even bigger increase in home prices. zillow forecasting a 4% increase for hartford, connecticut. connecticut that's going to add another $15,000 to the typical home. now, as always, when we talk about housing, this really cuts both ways, right? because if you already own your home and you don't need to move, the fact that home prices have gone u

by wednesday, temperatures 15 to 25 degrees below average from atlanta, nashville, saint louis, cincinnati. all very cold. we're looking at more than 70% of the lower 48, with temperatures below freezing. as we go through the next seven days. these freezing temperatures making it as far south as the gulf coast, we're waking up to temperatures below freezing this weekend. even in atlanta, some teens in chicago waking up to 11 degrees on saturday, a below freezing in new york, as well as we go through the weekend. these high temperatures not much better. we stay below freezing for the high temperatures in chicago as we go through the weekend. some chilly 40s in atlanta, and like i said, sa'ar even colder deeper into january. >> yeah, chicago looks like the nightmare that happens in chicago every single winter. but new york doesn't look too bad, so i'm feeling good about it. 38 can handle that. thank you so much, elisa raffa appreciate it. all right. ahead, the fbi does not believe he acted alone. now the investigation into the new orleans attack leading to searches across state lines and sou

kansas city also getting some saint louis now transitioning to snow. again, you've still got some of that freezing rain component there in some of those southern suburbs. when you look at how widespread a lot of these alerts go, look at this. it stretches 1500 miles for all of these winter weather alerts across portions of the central u.s., as well as the ohio valley and into the mid-atlantic. the biggest concerns we have, the two top concerns, are really going to be the the very dangerous, if not impossible, travel in some spots, and also the potential for widespread power outages in some of these locations, especially this spot right here where you're talking portions of southern indiana where it meets that kentucky state line. this is where we have a level four out of four, the extreme category, the highest you can get. where we're looking at potentially substantial disruptions to daily life in some of those areas. now, the system right now is in the central u.s. by the time we get to this evening, it really kind of focuses that target right over th

at some major impacts possible pretty much across i-70 that goes from kansas city over towards saint louis. you can see that red there. we're looking at difficult to near impossible travel. heavy and blowing snow, significant ice and sporadic power outages. this is just for sunday. and all of this stretches east as we go into monday. we have winter storm watches that are being issued from kansas through missouri, illinois, indiana and kentucky, and again, even ohio too. and all of this will continue east into monday. the watches stretch almost 900 miles. so pretty large area in the midwest will have some significant impacts from this storm. it really starts to develop on saturday. more moisture starts to pump in by sunday. and look at what happens. we've got cold air trying to squeeze in from the north, all of that moisture coming in from the south. and that's going to create these bands of heavy snow across parts of northern missouri, central illinois. and that ice, all that pink. there is ice. plus you have rain and a tail of some severe storms possible along the gulf coast. all of this

you see all of that red from kansas city to saint louis. that's where we're looking at some major impacts, likely as we go into sunday. and then that's going to stretch east as we get towards monday. right now, the winter storm watches are in place for parts of kansas, missouri, illinois, indiana and kentucky, and this stretches almost 900 miles. and again, as we go through time, this will tack on for places towards the mid-atlantic. the storm really starts to develop on saturday, but really pumps in the moisture and gains steam by sunday. we've got cold air coming in from the north that's squeezing in all of this moisture from the south. so that's where we're going to get the possibility of some heavy snow possible across these places, and some significant ice. but you've got rain and the storms along to the south, and then you can see by monday it spreads east. we could be looking at some snow in d.c. on monday as this spreads towards the mid-atlantic. the ice could be significant. just a little bit of ice could do a lot of havoc when it

it could bring a corridor of some ice and snow across the midsection here of the country, from saint louis to d.c. and then we'll have a cold, nasty rain for much of the southeast. so we're looking at multiple types of precipitation as we go into the weekend. ice could be very dangerous. all of this will trigger that arctic outbreak. manu raju. >> yeah, brace for the winter. it's already here in full force. elisa raffa. thank you for that report. and after the break on cnn this morning, an explosion outside a hotel in vegas just hours after the terror attack in new orleans. the similarities between the two incidents that has authorities looking for links. plus, new orleans set to host a sugar bowl tonight. the city is now beefing up security. >> we will mourn and pray for our country, and we have support systems around here for anybody that needs someone to to talk to or have support. but we also have to be prepared for this great opportunity that we have tomorrow in the sugar bowl. >> fairly dry. i still feel pretty rough or tired with my bow eyes can feel i bow. my bow is the only prescr

you see the saint louis cathedral in the background. and again, just for perspective, that is the corner of bourbon and orleans, right by the tropical isle bar, which is a huge destination for new year's eve, for mardi gras, one of the go to places, if you will, for people here are tourists and locals to go in the big events the heart of the french quarter. so again, we'll continue to see whatat unfolds. here is as the investigation ramps up. yeah, the big question everybody has right now is why was new orleans and the french quarter a target for this person? keep us updated. also, stay safe because when you're talking about ieds like this, we are not in a war zone. we are in a major american city right now. so give us the very latest information we're going to get to brittney verner and then to mike conn to react to this. before we do, we are going to show you some video that's coming into the newsroom. and over the next several days and weeks, you will see a lot of video, as there are so many cameras on bourbon street. this is video t

terminus the so-called eastern terminus of that railroad to be in the slave state of missouri that is saint louis. stephen douglass wanted the eastern terminus of that railroad to be in his home state of illinois. that is chicago. so he's doing some horse trading here. he kind of knows this. kansas-nebraska is not going to go over great in the north, but he's thinking he can sneak it by, that he can get by with it and sort of placate the south. but doesn't get by with it. the north is outraged, furious, huge. they burn him in effigy. they burned stephen douglass and effigy stephen douglas, by the way, very selfish, aware guy didn't say he could find his way home from washington, d.c. to illinois at night by the light of his own burning effigies. that is a self-aware guy. one of the great quotes of that whole era right? but in any case, yes. the south sends thousands of people to kansas and northern abolitionists send thousands of people to kansas. kansas becomes the center of the slavery debate for 1855 and into 1856. there is murder there is rape, there is mayhem there is destruction. lawrence,

and this is obviously, you know, the most iconic building in our city, the saint louis cathedral, somethinge all celebrate and cherish and love is an iconic landmark. and then you have the crime scene tape right here on bourbon street, right in front of the tropical isle. um, there's fbi forensic units out here, and the reason they're all here is because at about 6 a.m. this morning, a state police trooper discovered what he felt like was an unusual package. and we're told it may have even been an ice chest. so they sent out the nopd special unit, and and we believe they detonated it because we heard. or at least they did a, a controlled detonation to make sure it was nothing that could have been more extreme. and when i say they detonated it, i want to be very clear, because we keep saying that this wasn't like a reverberating boom where buildings shook. it sounded more like a firecracker. we heard, you know, someone with the nypd say, fire in the hole. and then there was a firecracker type sound that happened twice. they now have a drone that the fbi is flying over the scene here right no

this has happened in schools like pittsburgh, seattle, houston, saint louis, kansas city, las vegas andthe arsenal of school privatization, gentrification. thank you. all right. good evening. my name is maggie furey. i am a proud school social worker and co-chair of the fcac. i want to thank the district for providing a more comprehensive initial interim budget. this this year was about 70 pages longer than last year, actually. however i do. yes, i look at those details. i do have questions and want to highlight one specific line item that brings a lot of questions, and we would like to see more. i would like to see more transparency around. and that is specifically within the building fund section of the budget under expenditures, specifically capital outlay, which is a really broad category. in looking at last year's interim, the unaudited actuals of this year and the first interim, i am concerned that there's an initial budgeting that is not reflective of the actual spending by over $100 million. is that a correction? is it an error? is it unplanned emergency? what is it? and that is
