Good morning, everybody. It's Tuesday in St. Louis and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on the most important things happening locally.

But first, today's weather:

Windy; an afternoon shower. High: 64 Low: 26.

Here are the top 3 stories in St. Louis today:

1. Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently seized a shipment of fake Super Bowl championship rings in the St. Louis area. The officers located the 422 rings at an express consignment operations hub in St. Louis while the package was en route to a residence in Jerseyville, Illinois. The rings had been shipped from China and bore an infringing trademark owned by NFL Properties. (KTVI Fox 2 St. Louis)
