A city financial oversight committee met for nearly three hours Monday to investigate how the Jacksonville Transportation Authority accumulated a $40 million deficit. Committee members heard from two former chief financial officers and pressed for testimony and for documents. Chloe, take it away with the forecast. Mostly sunny today, high near 81, low about 70. East winds 8 to 15 with gusts near 23 and only a 10 percent rain chance. Andre's out there for us. The Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair opens Thursday, November 5 with gates at 5 in the evening at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds. And if you're heading out Thursday, the Jaguars are hosting a watch party on Thursday, November 5 at VyStar Ballpark starting at 8:15 in the evening. I'm Andre.
