Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, February 14th. We kick off with our Kansas City Mavericks dominating the ECHL standings at 36 wins, 8 losses, and 2 ties, riding a 21-win streak in their last 22 games as rookie star Jackson Jutting leads all first-year players with 21 goals and 43 points. They face the Orlando Solar Bears tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern, and we are cheering them on from the stands at Cable Dahmer Arena. Over at Municipal Auditorium last night, LOVB Salt Lake swept Austin in the Classic opener, drawing big crowds to our downtown gem.

Weather today stays cloudy with highs around 53 and lows near 40, a 24 percent chance of precip that might dampen outdoor plans along the Country Club Plaza, so grab that umbrella for afternoon errands. Look for partly cloudy skies tomorrow pushing to 63.

In sports, our Kansas City Roos womens basketball team heads to South Dakota State tonight at 8 p.m. on Summit League Network, facing a tough 19-and-6 squad. Softball saw the Roos fall 3 to 7 against Southern Indiana yesterday at Tigers Softball Complex, but they showed grit with RBIs from Mia Corres and Katie Noble.

City Hall approved a new traffic calming plan on Troost Avenue this week, easing commutes for families near Rockhurst High. Job market heats up with about 5,000 openings listed downtown, especially in tech near the Power and Light District. Real estate sees median home prices holding steady around 325,000 dollars, with quick sales in Brookside.

New spot alert: a craft brewery opens tomorrow on Westport Road, bringing fresh brews and live music. Mark your calendars for the Valentine community fair at Loose Park this weekend and Mavericks watch parties all week.

Local schools shine with Shawnee Mission North winning their debate tournament. On a feel-good note, volunteers cleared snow from paths at Swope Park, helping seniors stay mobile.

For public safety, Kansas City police report a quiet 24 hours with one arrest near 18th and Vine for a minor theft, no major incidents affecting our neighborhoods.
