Memorial Day Weekend

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has shared some stern warnings about the upcoming Memorial Day weekend activities and travel.

It was a busy and in some cases tragic weekend on Missouri roads over the Memorial Day weekend as the Missouri State Highway Patrol report hundreds of accidents including at least 7 fatalities over that 3 day holiday period.

My hope is for you to have a fun and safe Memorial Day Weekend. You should know that if you live in Missouri or Illinois that weather over the holiday weekend could become dangerous with conditions right for explosive storm development.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol wants you to have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. Ahead of that holiday though, they've issued some warnings and a reminder of the dire situation they faced last year with many unnecessary accidents and fatalities.

Sweet Home Chicago will be deploying "Peacekeepers" throughout the city this Memorial Day weekend with the hopes of quelling any swells of violence. Does hearing this make you feel more or less comfortable spending Memorial Day weekend in the Windy City?

It's been almost two years now since Illinoisans and the rest of the country looked at Memorial Day Weekend as an opportunity to take a long weekend trip, but with COVID-19 numbers going the right way for the most part, plans to hit the road are being made.
