Three Duval County Public Schools elementary campuses will get new weapon detection systems later this month, aiming to bring them to every DCPS elementary school within three years. Students at John E. Ford Elementary demonstrated the device. Here is Chloe with the forecast. High near 76, low around 58. North wind 6 to 12 with gusts to 17. Clear tonight. Now let us check in with Eli. Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 6 in the evening, the First Coast LGBTQ+ Community Town Hall meets at Jax Main Public Library. Organizers say it welcomes residents and allies. Next is the Riverside Arts Market under the I-ninety-five Fuller Warren Bridge on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 10 in the morning. Produced by Riverside Avondale Preservation, it runs every Saturday from 10 to 3 with local vendors rain or shine for families.
