Good morning, New Port Richey. Eighty-eight today with numerous showers and scattered storms, the same showers and storms again on Sunday, and then it turns sunny from Monday and stays that way.

The Anclote River is over flood stage at Elfers. The National Weather Service has it cresting around 20.4 feet against a 20.0-foot flood stage, with the water expected to drop back below flood stage late this morning and the warning running into the afternoon. The coastal flood advisory runs until 8 this morning. Isaias is well away now, over the Florida panhandle and moving north.

The city is keeping its sandbag operation going for residents. Pasco County Fire Rescue throws open Station 19 at 10 this morning, with safety demonstrations and a bounce house. And Monday brings a round of closures: no school at Fivay, and the county's rec buildings and community centers are closed for a staff development day.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
