Good morning, New Port Richey. It's National Play Outside Day, which Florida will let you do for about four hours before the storms arrive. Expect 88 today with scattered storms, 89 and much the same tomorrow, and then a run of cooler and wetter days into the middle of the week.

Monday is the deadline to register to vote in Florida for the November election, so if you have moved or changed your name since you last voted, this weekend is the time to check. The library has a six-month writing workshop opening at 10:30 this morning and the Poetry Club on Ada Limón at 12:30. And Gulf High has named Karen Musser its Teacher of the Year.

Trinity Market runs until 2 at Trinity Commons, Thrive on the Square is at 11, and tonight the Elks host Hotel Alabama for charity. Sunday the indoor vendor market opens in its new conference center home. Go outside first.

Monday is the last day to register to vote in Florida
