SUMMARY: Drivers in Missouri are preparing for significant slowdowns on I-70 as construction season approaches. During Work Zone Awareness Week, MODOT urges safe driving as numerous work zones will emerge, following 23 fatalities in work zone crashes last year. Upcoming construction includes adding a third lane along eastbound I-70, resulting in night lane closures from 8 PM to 6 AM, expected to last until September. This $600 million project aims to enhance traffic flow and safety. Although opinions among drivers are mixed, most agree that the enhancements will ultimately benefit the region.

Next week is Work Zone Awareness week. With that being said, MDOT asks drivers to make safe choices. FOX 2’s Max Diekneite shares more.

SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands. Despite FBI involvement, the case closed without indictments. Over 40 years later, with many witnesses deceased, the murder remains unsolved, and locals continue to keep the secret.

A very moist atmosphere will fuel possible storms Tuesday into Wednesday, with flooding downpours the main concern. Models show varying rainfall totals and locations, with uncertainty about where storms will hit hardest. Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
