ST. LOUIS - Embattled St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is slated to appear in court Monday morning to explain why she should not be held in indirect criminal contempt of court. This latest legal trouble for Gardner comes after one of her prosecutors didn't show up for the first day of a murder trial that was supposed to start one week ago.The trial is now on hold and the case could be dismissed. Monday morning's hearing is set for 9:00 a.m. before judge Scott Millikan inside the Civil Courts building.In his order for Gardner to show cause for why she should not be held in contempt of court, judge Millikan said that the conduct of the circuit attorney's office in this case "thwarts and defeats the authority of the circuit court of the city of St. Louis."Gardner responded this past Friday, blaming her assistant circuit attorney assigned to the case, Alex Polta. Gardner's filing shared that Polta had told an official in the Circuit Attorney's Office that he was going on vacation ...Freezing temps Monday morning, highs in low to mid 60s through week

St. Louis weather from Meteorologist Angela Hutti:ST. LOUIS - The second of two cold mornings is underway. Out the door temperatures Monday will be in the low to mid 30s with valleys and low-lying areas possibly dropping into the upper 20s. So it is a bundle up morning. As high pressure slides east Monday, we’ll get into more of a southerly flow, and that will help warm us up. Temps will remain below average this week, but it will be milder than what we saw over the weekend. Highs in the low to mid 60s each day and lows in the mid 40s are expected. St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here Watching for rain Tuesday through Thursday, but most of that will stay just north or south of the St. Louis region. The best chance will be on Thursday. A cold front late Friday brings better rain chances into the weekend.Police investigating standoff in St. Louis County

Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more.

Since then, Colorado has outscored Seattle 9-4 in five periods to take a 2-1 series lead.Here are three keys to the Avs keeping momentum in Game 4 on Monday (8 p.m. MT, TBS) at Climate Pledge Arena.1. Keep rolling with the punches, J.T. Compher. The Avalanche’s second-line center does everything that feels important to this series right now. He’s on the top power play unit; Colorado is 0 for 7 through three games. He kills penalties; down 1-0 in Game 3, he scored a crucial short-handed goal. He leads the team in faceoffs taken; the Avs have scored three important goals in the last two games off draws. And Compher is involved in all that while dealing with a revolving door of linemates. The latest twist was Matt Nieto joining him on the second line with Valeri Nichushkin out. With no timeta...Latest news
