Good morning, Jefferson City.

Jefferson City is preparing to open a new river market on Chestnut Street later this year to revive a once-neglected area near East Capitol Ave. The project will include food truck hookups, a pavilion plus year‐round restrooms and community space for events.

A severe thunderstorm with winds up to 70 mph damaged power lines today in East Jefferson City, officials say.

Live lines on Algoa Road and Mohawk Drive at Tomahawk have led to road closures, and Ameren Missouri will not repair them today.

Communities in eastern Cole County are cleaning up debris from severe weekend storms as Ameren works to restore power for 3,000 residents.

Cole County EMS notes no structure damage or injuries, though households are urged to follow generator safety instructions.
