Helicopters will be flying over neighborhoods throughout Hillsborough County November 4 through November 6, the county announced, in response to dengue activity. Officials said daytime helicopters will lay larvicide and airplanes will apply adulticide at night in neighborhoods including Downtown Tampa and Brandon. In other local news, Brandon Dispatch reports Hillsborough County voters approved all three ballot questions on Tuesday; the results are unofficial. Here's Chloe with your forecast. The National Weather Service says partly sunny today with isolated showers and thunderstorms between 2 and 5 in the afternoon, a high near 85, a low near 71 and a 40 percent chance of rain. They can sneak up. Andre's out on location for us. Bolt Run starts Saturday, November 7 at 7:30 in the morning along the Arena/Bayshore, the city says. Andre here — enjoy your weekend.
