Good morning, New Port Richey. Eighty-four today with numerous storms, and the rest of the week looks much the same: rain every day and temperatures stuck in the low to mid eighties.

The footbridge on the Coastal Anclote Trail is shut to walkers and cyclists today and tomorrow for maintenance, so plan another way around. Pasco County Fire Rescue has the next Fire Prevention Week message, and this one is about the cheap charger you bought to replace the one that came in the box.

J.W. Mitchell's homecoming week carries on with a dress-as-a-duo day, and Pasco County Schools is hiring bus drivers at a Wednesday afternoon event. The Agape pantry at First Baptist Hudson opens Wednesday morning, and Bo Bice plays the Richey Suncoast Theatre on Thursday.
