Hello all. I'm back in your inbox this morning to walk you through all the most important things happening locally.

But first, today's weather:

Clouds giving way to some sun. High: 53 Low: 38.

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

1. Now is the time to unwind, relax, and enjoy all the wonderful activities St. Louis has to offer.

2. St. Louis mail carriers are being targeted by criminals – and police want residents to be on alert. According to authorities, the criminals are looking for universal mailbox keys. These keys allow them access USPS collection boxes and cluster mailboxes in hopes to get money from mail. Although two recent burglary attempts have failed, officials have created new mail security measures to keep peoples deliveries safe and secure. (KTVI Fox 2 St. Louis)
3. The St. Louis Blues have announced the construction of a new Blues Hall of Fame to honor those who have made the franchise what it is – and a local legend is among the guests of honor.

The group of inductees will be honored on Jan. 14 at the Blues' Hall of Fame Game where they face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning. (Ladue News)
