Inside New Port Richey, Issue #63
November 3, 2026

Good morning, New Port Richey! It's Tuesday, November 3, and it's Election Day. Expect a warm high of 85 with partly cloudy skies, scattered showers and a few isolated storms, so keep an umbrella handy on the way to the polls. It's also National Sandwich Day, which raises a fair question: is a hot dog a sandwich? Ezee Dogs is parked at the West Pasco Government Center until 3 p.m. if you want to settle it over lunch.

In the news, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and GoPasco is offering free bus rides all day with a Voter Information Card. Coming up, the Pasco Pathways Expos arrive November 9 and 10, the Florida Department of Health in Pasco hosts a health fair at Moon Lake Park on Saturday, and the Richey Community Orchestra opens its season with Movie Madness on November 15.

Today, stop by the Tasty Tuesdays Community Market at the library until 1 p.m., then head out tonight for karaoke at the VFW or kids eat free at Double Bogey's from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday brings a Cup of Cheer card class and trivia at Rum River, and Thursday has line dancing and music bingo. Cast your vote, grab a sandwich, and have a great day!

New Port Richey, FL Area Weather

New Port Richey five-day forecast from Tuesday to Saturday: highs of 85, 84, 83, 80 and 79 degrees, storms Tuesday and Wednesday, then mostly sunny to partly cloudy
