This is five on your side. At six focused on you.
We begin at six with a live look over downtown Saint Louis.
Those images coming in now, a cold night for this holiday weekend
and rain could cause some travel issues for many tonight. Thank you for joining us.
I'm Brent Solomon.
Cold weather and snow on the west side of Missouri could impact our area.
Weather for me to rob.
Here's Gary Frank now with a closer look on what this might mean for those traveling.
Yeah, I just wanna show you uh what we could be, you know, just a few, a few miles away.
This is what it looks like just west of Wichita.
Uh At this moment,
they've got some pretty significant snow and I've been looking at some uh
posts from people around the area uh that are 75 yard visibility.
I mean, it's snowing really hard.
We're not gonna be dealing with any of that,
but it's the same system it's gonna impact us and that's where the really
cold air settles in and that's how close we are to significant snow.
But fortunately we're staying away from it for all your
travel if you are headed to Kansas City tonight,
uh I would put that off and maybe until tomorrow morning or just be prepared for, uh,
it to really get slow past,
uh I would say somewhere around Warrensburg at the moment,
it's significant snow in Wichita, but closer to Kansas City,
you are under a winter weather advisory.
Any portion of our area is not involved in that because look at our temperatures,
they're well above freezing, although they've dropped to 33 in Chesterfield.
And that's what we'll watch out for tomorrow as we head into this evening, you know,
staying dry, our temperatures will fall to around 35 eventually, maybe 3334.
And as it gets close to that,
that's where I think we may see that rain, snow mix.
We'll talk about how I think that's going to
impact us and where you're driving tomorrow morning.
If you're heading back,
I'll let you know if that's gonna impact your flight or drive regionally or locally.
All right, Gary,
we're following a developing story out of Saint Charles County.
Now, a man is in custody after a string of crimes
including ramming a stolen car into a police car,
speeding away from officers in that same car
and then trying to escape after his arrest,
these string of crimes began in o'fallon,
Missouri when a flock camera helped officers identify the stolen car.
Our Travis Cummings picks up the story from here.
Very few Children live here. So
a lot of General Motors employees live here. So it's quiet
that all changed this weekend at the Bent Oak apartment in Lake Saint Louis,
one of the neighbors came out
saying that I was lucky
that I wasn't home.
And I said, why? And she starts going into the whole story about a,
a high speed chase.
Rolanda Raspberry caught the start of the commotion on
her balcony camera just before 230 Friday afternoon,
the moment Oval police tried to pull over a
stolen black Camaro with red rams out of Nevada.
Seconds later,
the suspect crashed into a police unit and this white park Mercedes
Benz as it tries to flee from police out of the subdivision,
officers eventually deployed spike strips and stopped the car.
Police say they helped a passenger and a two year old child get out of the car safely
and got a stolen gun from outside the vehicle too.
They caught the suspect who tried to get away on foot.
Police brought the suspect here to progress
West hospital for a fit for confinement.
He tried to run away from the hospital too.
O'fallon officers and other agencies then created a perimeter around the facility
and initiated their K nine unit to assist.
Eventually they recaptured the suspect
back in Lake ST Louis. Nothing sacred anymore. I mean
somebody comes through and just
creates destruction. Raspberry is glad she's safe.
It's pretty exciting.
Scary too,
Travis Cummings five on your side.
No officers were hurt during that chase charges could
be filed through the Saint Charles County prosecuting Attorney's office
today.
Emotional video coming in of families being reunited as Israel and
Hamas entered the second day of a four day pause in fighting
yesterday, Hamas released 24 hostages in return.
Israel released 39 Palestinians being detained in Israeli prisons.
Images of loved ones from both groups now flooding in
women and Children released in this first wave,
17 more hostages are on their way home now. But a delay pushed back the whole process.
None of the hostages being released today included Americans
President Biden hoping they will be freed soon.
It's a
we don't know when that will occur but we're gonna be expected to occur
and uh we don't know what the list of
all the hostages are and when they'll be released,
but we know the numbers are gonna be released.
Local reaction to the release of hostages is happening now,
one community in Crieff Corp
has been praying for this release for weeks. Now,
their rabbi tells us while they don't know the victims personally,
they can sympathize because of their faith.
Something that's fascinating always in the Jewish community is that
even though we may not be directly connected,
we all feel like we're connected to these hostages and
like we know them because they could be us.
Representative Corey Bush responded yesterday saying this
quote proves the effectiveness of the d
escalation and diplomacy, not military force.
We must continue to vigorously push for
a permanent cease fire that ends this violence

Well, it is a big weekend for holiday shopping
and lots of you are supporting local shops today because
it's small business Saturday today,
a North county rec center hosted a pop up market for local businesses.
And Midtown hosted another market in the city. Foundry,
both featured vendors from a variety of area businesses.
One local vendor says their booth is just a passion project.
So local markets are a huge part of their business.
These are so important because honestly, like
um all of us have other jobs as well.
And so it's hard to find time to be able to do our side jobs.
It's a beautiful way to be a part of
the community and to support your community as well.
The small business pop up is over now. But city,
you will also have holiday markets with area vendors every Saturday in December.
We want to hear from you. Are you participating in small business Saturday?
Text the word shop to 3144255355. And you can participate in our poll.
