Good morning, Columbia! Let's get you started this Tuesday with everything you need to know going on today in town.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and pleasant. High: 74 Low: 60.

Here are the top three stories today in Columbia:

1. A man was arrested and charged with breaking a window at a Columbia church. Jeffery Couch was accused of breaking a window in St. John Baptist Church on West Beltline Boulevard on Sunday. Couch is currently being held at a detention center on bond. (WIS News 10)
2. Columbia's tight affordable housing market has been worse for those with disabilities. Many of the houses listed don't have disability amenities such as a walk-in shower and first-floor bedrooms.
