About 86,000 votes have been cast in Duval County, with roughly 60,000 early in-person votes and 26,000 mail ballots, Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said as early voting enters its second week. Officials say that turnout is stretching polling locations and staffing. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. Turning to local weather: partly sunny, high near 75, with a 30 percent chance of rain showers after 3 in the afternoon. Northeast winds 17 to 22 miles per hour, gusts to 33. Now let us check in with Devon. The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra presents The Phantom of the Opera, the 1925 silent film with live organ, on Friday, October 30 at 7:30 in the evening at Jacoby Hall. It's a spooky-season treat.
