Tampa voters could decide in March whether to create an inspector general. City Council will review the charter amendment Thursday at Tampa City Hall and vote on a $595,000 subgrant to buy a CJIS-aligned Peregrine platform for the Tampa Police Department. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. Sunny and hot, high near 90. Heat index up to 97, low near 75, east-northeast wind 5 miles per hour and a 20 percent chance of showers before 7 in the evening. Now let us check in with Lena. I am live at Grand Central at Kennedy for the Channelside District's third Thursday street-food festival. It runs Thursday, October 15, 2026, 6 to 10 in the evening on Madison between Meridian & Channelside. Expect food trucks, live music and cocktails in the Grand Central at Kennedy courtyard.
