5 On Your Side's Justina Coronel
learned more today about the
Make Way Safety application.
She's live in studio with more Justina.
Yeah, came Brent.
So the founder, Mike Walsh, tells me.
Right now it's in a trial phase,
partnering up with St.
Louis city and county, St.
Charles and Jefferson County
police departments and Kirkwood,
Eureka and St.
Louis fire departments are involved as well.
For today, we used an app that alerted
us whenever a police officer dre
by with their lights or sirens.
Now, Walsh said,
all of these agencies have placa
hardwired device into five of their cars.
And that device is activated
by a light and siren circuits.
Then it sends a push notificatin
to cell phones or connected car.
Now this alert system notifies
you an emergency vehicle is
coming either to your left or te
right of the right of your car.
We're told this could be helpful
when there is a police pursuit
or an officer on the side of the
road with another car Wash tells
me partnering up with different
departments was extremely impor.
This was more about having
a unified community.
Because we have a population tht
is traveling between counties
and city on a daily basis.
So this was more about can we
work together in a metropolitan
marketplace to bring some
technology that we believe will
enhance your life safety. Now
these developers really want to embed
this technology into your cell e
or your car so you don't have to
launch an app every time you dr.
For now, the trials will go into
the end of July and they hope
to launch by January 1st.
All right. Thank you, Justina.

Let's get an update now on
your weather first forecast,
Chief Meteorologist Scott
Connell standing by with that.
Yeah, it's pretty nice out there Brent,
at this point compared to what
it's going to be as we head
through the next couple of days.
We have two concerns here.
As we go into tonight and tomor,
we have the potential of seeinge
of that wildfire smoke really st
getting close to the ground and
some pretty poor air quality eay
tomorrow morning is expected acs
the area and then we're going to build
the heat and humidity back into.
Louis, so.
We've had the wildfire aloft frm
those Canadian wildfires hanging
around that wildfire smoke near
the ground and it is really thik
as you go into northern portions
and central portions of Illinoi.
We already have the air quality
alert for the metro area and all
of Illinois as we go into tomor,
and that really is going to be at its
worst with the wildfire smoke tomorrow
morning during the morning hour.
It'll thin out some during the afternoon,
the heat.
Boy,
it's down to our South and so ie
humidity and it's on the way back in here.
So we got a couple of weather
alert days coming your way.
That would be Thursday and Frid.
That's going to be for the heat.
So tomorrow morning and during e
day tomorrow air quality issuesd
that's unhealthy for some folks,
especially if you have heart or lung issues.
Don't want to exert yourself early in
the day with that smoke near the ground.
But we're close to 100 Thursday
and Friday afternoon with higher
humidity and those heat index
values could be like they are in
New Orleans right now around 10.
10 degrees for some of us.
See in a few minutes.
Talk more about that.
K Boy
oh boy. All right, Scott.
Thank you. Or minor.
You can stay on top of this incg
heat if you touch the word weatr

priority wise, this was one of
those projects that we've been
discussing for some years and tn
when the funding became availab,
we took the opportunity to
replace our fencing. Funding
for the project came from House
Bill 20 and Proposition S the nw
fencing will be up by August.
