Loons star Emanuel Reynoso’s return to MLS games ‘might be a few weeks’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:14:24 GMT

The biggest step has been achieved: Loons star midfielder Emanuel Reynoso returned to Minnesota on Saturday.But tedious steps remain: Reynoso passing medical tests; MLS sharing what Reynoso must do to have his suspension lifted; Reynoso returning to training sessions, mending relationships with teammates, improving his fitness and form.Then, finally, playing in games.“I’m delighted he is here,” manager Adrian Heath said Monday in Blaine. “I want to get him into the group and get him integrated back into the group because as I’ve said all along there is not a team in this league who is not better without having a really good Emanuel Reynoso. We are the same.”The Loons (3-4-3, 12 points) are winless in five straight matches over the previous month. Without their MLS All-Star playmaking midfielder, they have scored only 10 goals in 10 game this season.“We need him in the team,” Heath continued. “We’ve spent an awful lot of money bringing him here. We’ve done an awful lot to try to put ...

Severe storms expected south of St. Louis Monday

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:14:24 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- Strong storms are expected to develop in the St. Louis area Monday afternoon and evening. The intersection of the rain-cooled outflow boundary with the approaching cold front and pressure system is my greatest concern. The storms in Missouri may start back up by early to mid-afternoon. St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here Conditions will be favorable for those storms to move east across southern Missouri, mainly south of the Missouri River, where large hail, damaging winds are possible. The tornado risk is on the low end of the spectrum, but it's not zero. The exception may be right at the intersection of all those boundaries. This is somewhere between Jefferson City, Rolla, and Springfield, Missouri.The Storm Prediction Center has much of the area in a level 2 risk today, although I think the greatest risk is from the south end of the metropolitan St. Louis area and further south into southern Missouri.The general area I have highlighted with the red c...
