Early voting for the general election opened across Hillsborough County on Monday, starting a two-week voting window. I’m Maya — if you want to avoid Election Day lines, early voting runs daily through November 1. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. From the polls to skies: Tampa will be sunny, high 81, low 62. Northeast winds 12 to 16, gusts to 25 — breezy. Let's check in with Lena. And if you're heading out Tuesday, rock band CLUTCH plays The Ritz Ybor on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 6:30 in the evening. I’m Lena live in Ybor City. On the local arts stage, The RITZ Ybor presents Tampa Halloween Indie Night on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 5:30 in the evening, featuring Rohna, Parrotfish, Kitty Kitty Meow Meow, Palova and more. Lena here.
