This is Five On Your Side at 5 focused
on you. We begin in storm alert as we
get ready to take a live look outside
Storms are expected to move in.
Thank you for joining us.
I'm Prince Solomon in for Mike .
We are under a tornado watch right now.
Weather first meteorologist Gary
Fring joining me now with the vy
latest on these developing stor.
Gary. Yeah,
good evening, Brent.
We are in storm alert as we have that
tornado watch in place through 0
PM And as we look at Chesterfie,
this is one of the areas that's
under that tornado watch.
That's about kind of the further westmost
area that's going to be involved in that.
And over the next several hours,
we'll watch for development.
You see those clouds start to b,
but nothing imminent.
There is no active warning,
not much going on.
We still have this for another five hours.
I want to show you who's involved in that.
And that really goes pretty much
any county bordering the river
and then points to the east.
So that's what you're dealing
with through 10:00.
And we started to see a few storms bubble up,
maybe just a little bit sooner now that
we've over the last 30 minutes o
and they're not really amountino
much and these are just thunderstorms,
that's fine.
But I still think that over the next hour,
we'll see maybe more development that
could strengthen these storms ad
start to impact us in more wayss
we look even a little further nh
and further north out of our ar.
That's where we've seen probably
the most coverage where we've ha
couple of active tornado warnin,
they've been out of our area,
but we still remain in this toro
watch through 10:00 temperatures
have come down to 90.
You can see where that front has settled in.
It's to the north.
And as that continues to move
to the southeast,
we'll see our more storms develop along that.
So now through 10:00,
a brief tornado is going to be
possible in a few locations.
We have large hail and 60 to 70e
an hour wind is a secondary thr.
I think that that's going to
be just the brief week tornado.
These spin up tornadoes and then
locally heavy rain in some case.
But I think these storms are mog
quick enough where they may not
impact us in terms of a flooding risk.
We'll continue to monitor the
development of the radar and alo
talk about what it looks like ad
what the radar may picture over
the next hour or two.
Brett.
All right, Gary, we'll see you there.
Well, today was supposed to be
the first Sunday for the all
things new restructuring plan,
the archdiocese consolidation
of 178 parishes until 134 now on
pause as several parishes appea.
One week ago at least seven chus
in our area believe they were
worshiping together for the final time,
but today they came together
for mass yet again.
Mercedes McKay visited two of te
churches today and has reaction.
Mercedes
brand this past week has been
filled with a lot of emotions fr
the Catholics I spoke to today,
ranging from grief to hope to even anger.
While some parishes
celebrated on their own today,
others came together to worship as they
all wait to see their parishes .
We're pleased that hopefully someone at
the Vatican is now paying attention to
the issues that I perish. Walking into
church Sunday morning Mike
Stevens felt hopeful Morning.
Are you today worshipping God surrounded
by his parish family something Stevens
wasn't sure would happen again
We found out from a statement
by the archdiocese. Stevens
parish St. Rock Catholic Church
is one of the seven parishes.
The archdiocese, all things newn
decrees is now on pause for as they wait
for Rome to respond to their ap.
A lot of us are still concerned
as as to what they're going to o
and what they're thinking. Simir
feelings of concern lingered over at St.
Matthew the Apostle Catholic Ch.
The church is going through quia
challenging period right now as we try
to discern where God is calling,
a calling that brought the parih
along with the other ones they
were set to merge with together
to celebrate on Sunday. The
fact that we can continue to coe
together and to be with one anor
is definitely a positive side.
The unity, even bringing
some prisoners to tears,
the energy that that we felt
today was was just inspiring.
For some, though,
the pause felt like a step back.
I was just ready to be done wit.
Let's move on.
It's kind of like we packed the
car Now let's get on the road,
a road that's been long
and windy For many.
Our parish has been an
integral component of St.
Louis for over 100 years.
But these Catholics are
leaning on what they know.
I try to believe that we as the
people of God can come together
and that God's going to lead us.
The decrees will be suspended fr
those seven parishes until the
Vatican makes a decision, whiche
archdiocese tells us could take months.

Last week, Mayor Tasharra Jones
signed an ordinance that strengs
restrictions around openly carrying guns.
The passage of this ordinance means no

It also allows local law enforct
