This is today in St.
Louis focused on you.
Well, good morning.
Look at that this morning,
we're focused.
On a French town in Saint Charl,
we're taking a live look because things
are getting very colorful
as we see out that way. And
we're going to have some more at
what exactly that means and why
it is in just a couple of minut.
But look at that shot.
Thanks to our photographer Tony
for that shot. It's beautiful.
They're out there working
this morning. Good
morning. It's Sunday, May 21st.
I'm Cindy Stalwart.
Thanks so much for joining us.
And Tracy Henson is here to talk about
all we need to know about the weather.
It looks sunny out there.
It feels pretty good outside.
Yeah. And I could tell you about the weather,
but I sure can't tell you.
That Lady had didn't look like she had
a spot of paint on her clothes. Oh no.
And she's doing that really dow.
I don't know how she does that. Yeah.
I would have it days everywhere by down.
Great job. We're gonna we're goa
see more on that later on this
morning. It's beautiful stuff
all right. And for everybody who's out
and about it's just that seasont
we're spending a lot of time outside.
Things are looking pretty good.
It is still quite hazy.
That's due to those wildfires tt
are just raging in Canada right.
So that smoke is continuing
to push down our way.
It is reducing our.
Air quality just a little bit to moderate and
it could come a little bit higher later on,
but we'll just have to
watch that downtown today.
This is the look over the arch,
which will be the same view that all of our
Annie Malone parade goers will be seeing.
As they March down Market Street 66 degrees,
it feels like 66 out there.
Winds are nice and calm,
and through the rest of our day today
we'll be making it into the upper 70s
with plenty of sunshine out the.
78 degrees.
It's not going to be very windy.
It's also not going to be very humid either,
so that's quite nice tonight.
Another cool night is in store,
so we'll cool down quite
nicely to 54 degrees.
Our sunset is at 812 and we're looking
at light winds overnight again.
Thank you, Tracy.
We're updating you as promised n
a breaking story that we've been
following on air and online all morning.
This is a live look at what was
a deadly crash on 70 westbound
and grand just minutes ago.
They reopened the two lanes.
As you can see,
traffic is moving on those two lanes,
but we still see police presence
on the far left lanes as well.
And the crash happened just
before 4:30 this morning.
Right now we don't know.

Annie Malone Mayday Parade
in downtown Saint Louis.
Lots to look forward to this morning.
We're taking a closer look,
though, at the Annie Malone
Children and Family Services.
Our Rent Solomon spoke with
volunteers and community members
about how the organization
is working to keep families
together and to change lives.
In the hustle.
Our way is the youth is to go ot
and sell drugs and breaking car,
and then that becomes a cycle
and that's what it is Today.
Donald Stephens is doing his pa.
To be a change agent for inner city youth,

He does it by bringing his ducks
and dreams business to the Annie
Malone children and Family Serv,
teaching young people about
what he does for a living.
We had a girl that wanted to brd
hair and that's what she was do.
We say, well this is the
outlet on how to get it.
Register the right way and be
able to start getting funded.
It's one of the many ways the organization
is meeting the needs of the entire family.
In addition to drug prevention
programs for children. Annie Mae
even helps parents be better parents,
trying to take this one day at a time.
28 year old Trey Watkins has three children.
He's learning to be more present for them,
even if it's just like 10 minutes every hour.
Sit down with them. Play with t.

You know what I'm saying?
Because that's how it means a l.
Sit down.
Annie Malone even makes it a min
to take its services outside
these four walls, where we're
able to go out to the family's
homes at least once a week,
connecting families with resour,
maybe financial help, food help,
just assistance, and getting
your house completely furnished.
It's people helping people.
To make a community, nearly a
dozen teenagers just graduated
from Steeples Duct Work Program.
It lets them know this work mat.
That touched my heart, right?
It put me in tours.
And that's what brings me back
to want to continue to help.
Because those kids actually said
that program helps save their l.
Brent Solomon, 5 On your side.
The 113th Annie Malone Mayday
Parade steps off at 1:00 o'clock
this afternoon, and guess what?
5 on your side will be there.
And the parade marches
right past our station.
Let's take a closer look at what
the route looks like. Come on.
So here's what you need to know.
The parade starts at 1:00, o'cl.
It runs from 20th and
market to market and 7th.
So clearly all of the action is
going to be on Market Street to.
Take a look.
They're already getting set up out here.
So that means if you're planning
on driving to the parade,
you cannot drive and park on Ma.
And if your car is already parked there
and you need to move it right a,
so there's some other Rd.
closures you need to know about.
Pine Chestnut and Walnut Street
will be closed from 20th St.
to Broadway.
The parade is going to end at 3,
but then city crews have
to clean the streets.
So those.
Could reopen at 4:00 PM that if you live
or work by Harrisville State University,
you should know that's the stagg
area for all the parade participants,
so you could probably see some slowdowns
in that area as early as 10:00 o'clock.
We have some tips for you.
If you plan on coming out today,
be sure to consider a rideshare.
I just told you you'll be able to park,
but probably not that close to the action.
Clearly the sun is shining toda,
so bring that sunscreen and pley
of water and a big smile because
you're going to see Channel 5
out there on the parade route ad
we're going to be waving to you.
See you then.
And
if you can't make it out,
don't worry because we're goingo
be streaming it live on Five Pls
it's free on Roku, Fire and Apple TV.
