One of the secondary offices is in St Louis but that’s roughly 4 hours away. I have less than 10% chance of getting the “virtual hybrid” designation only going in 1-3 days a month. That would be ideal as my Uncle lives in St Charles, however that’s less than 10%. I’m much more likely to get the full time 3-5 day office worker designation.
That would help with time while I’m looking, but my wife is very much against it for good reason. I would be leaving Sunday afternoon and probably wouldn’t be back until late Wednesday night. That’s a lot of time away from my family just to push time out to keep my job and get one.
I’m dusting off my resume today and will probably start looking for new employment tomorrow.

If they have a long runway for the relocation, and it's more financially beneficial for you to stay employed than to out yourself as a non-relocater that needs to file for unemployment, I'd play the game to keep the checks coming in up while looking for another gig.
Let them think you're moving (while not financially committing yourself or signing anything crazy) while you start interviewing elsewhere.
