How global temperatures affect the St. Louis region

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

ST. LOUIS – We are in the middle of a major global pattern change. We are moving from our third La Nina year to an El Niño pattern. And there are some indications that this pattern could be what’s called a Super Niño. That sounds pretty ominous – and it could be.The last Super Niño pattern was in 2016, and we saw the warmest global temperature on record. It also could bring a heightened risk of droughts and floods and stronger storms. However, it could also bring a quieter hurricane season. But what does that all mean to St. Louis? Let’s dive into it.JuneWe begin June a bit behind the eight ball. April and May have trended dry and our yearly average for rainfall is running a little bit short.The drought severity across Missouri is heightened just a bit because of this. So, we need rain.Ask your lawn or garden. I’ve seen more sprinklers running in the last few weeks because of this. I think the dry pattern of the last few weeks will continue into June. We will have some opportun...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

Jamal Murray sized up The King and decided he wasn’t afraid of the crown.Already on a torrid run of devastating daggers, Murray hoisted one more in LeBron James’ face, burying a 30-foot 3-pointer to whip Ball Arena into a chaotic frenzy Thursday night. Murray’s scintillating 23-point fourth quarter built the Nuggets a double-digit lead, and it took everything they had not to squander it amid egregious turnovers.The Nuggets, though, owe no apologies. Their 108-103 win at Ball Arena staked them a 2-0 series lead in this Western Conference Finals before the series flips to Los Angeles for Saturday’s Game 3.“This was a war,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after the game.In the final moments, a raucous “Beat L.A,” chant boomed throughout the lower bowl.Murray finished with 37 points, raining in four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter alone.

Nuggets 3-pointers: Anthony Davis disappears, Jamal Murray takes over in Game 2 win for Denver

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

Initial observations from the Nuggets’ Game 2 comeback win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.1. Murray makes them when it matters. Jamal Murray started the night shooting 3 for 15 from the field, but a point guard with his confidence never stops trying. He flipped a switch in the second half after the Nuggets fell behind by 10, making his next seven shots. The biggest was a beginning-of-the-end knife when Denver needed it most. On a night when Michael Malone had used Nikola Jokic for heavy minutes, the two-time MVP was finally getting a breather early in the fourth quarter. The Lakers couldn’t buy a bucket during that stretch, but after the Nuggets had weathered most of the storm already, Murray drilled a step-back three over Anthony Davis to put Denver ahead 87-83. While Murray never relented, Davis disappeared. He shot 4 for 15 after a 40-point Game 1.2. Rui ruins everything early. Look, no judgment here toward LeBron James for that flubbed f...

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- "You get cussed at. You literally get threatened. You will be attacked just for asking them to leave. It's that bad. It's really bad."Fifty-one-year-old Rafael Guttierrez has worked in the retail loss prevention industry off and on for the past 10 years. He says interacting with shoplifters in the city has always been fraught with risks, but he says it has become even more dangerous in recent years.

These people come in with backpacks, duffle bags, garbage bags," Guttierrez said. "This is what they're after. Filling those up. These ain't your typical shoplifters. These people are aggressive. They will do whatever it takes to get what they need."Loss prevention employees have been on both sides of a pair of recent deadly shootings here in the Bay Area.
