(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) The City of St. Joseph has issued a Declaration and Order extending the city's mask mandate until Monday, November 16.

At their regular meeting Monday night, the council voted 6-2 to approve a resolution for the mayor to extend his order.

The mayor was planning on extending his emergency order, regardless of the vote, but wanted the full support of the council to show the city is interested in public health, not politics.

Some city council members showed support for extending the order until the end of the year.

More hot and humid weather on the way for today with highs back in the upper 90s with some areas reaching triple digits. Use caution when spending time outside because heat index values will once again be in the triple digits for many. A cold front will start to approach our area tonight and stall to our north giving us a few chances for showers and thunderstorms overnight, however this activity will not be widespread. Temperatures will still be above average this weekend with highs in the 90s. A few lingering rain chances will continue this weekend, but much of the weekend will be dry. The cold front will move through the area early next week giving us some much cooler temperatures. High will be back down in the upper 70s and lower 80s to start off next week.
