A Tampa International Airport spokesperson says nearly 80,000 travelers were expected to pass through the airport each day Sunday and Monday. Tampa International projected roughly 78 to 80,000 passengers on peak days. City leaders say the World Series surge has airports, hotels and downtown planners adjusting operations and discussing a possible boat parade if the Rays win. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. Sunny and warm, high near 84, low around 70; northeast winds 10 to 16 with gusts to 25. Breeze will test your umbrella. Now let's check in with Eli. In other local news, Whispers After Dark runs Wednesday, October 28 at 6 in the evening at Water Street Tampa. Admission is free and Tasting Quarters is ticketed for 21 and over.
