Following a year marked by significant weather events, the City of St. Louis Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) reminds residents to review their emergency plans. While daytime temperatures are expected to reach an unseasonably warm high of 75 degrees, a cold front approaching from the west brings a 15% risk of severe winds and potential thunderstorms late Friday evening. Citizens should ensure they have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, such as a NOAA weather radio or localized emergency apps.

Public Health Advisory: Influenza Activity

The City of St. Louis Department of Health has issued a continuing health advisory as the respiratory virus season remains at a high level.

Health officials urge residents to remain vigilant by practicing frequent handwashing and staying home if they develop a fever. Hospital emergency department visits for influenza-like illnesses continue to trend above the seasonal average. Residents are encouraged to seek vaccination if they have not already done so to reduce the severity of potential infections.
