SUMMARY: The Tampa Bay Rays’ $1.3 billion stadium project is facing uncertainty as it evolves through multiple proposals. The new stadium is part of a $6.5 billion development in St. Petersburg’s Gas Plant District, with the Pinellas County Commission set to vote on bond financing on Dec. 17, while the St. Petersburg City Council has approved $287.5 million. The Rays blame delays on the commission, despite a previous letter stating such delays jeopardized the stadium’s expected completion by 2028. The team’s lease at Tropicana Field, built in 1990, expires in 2027, and they may have to play elsewhere in the interim.

SUMMARY: The South Florida weather forecast for March 16, 2025, highlights the aftermath of a severe weather system that caused widespread tornado damage in the Southeastern U.S. South Florida will experience minimal rain, with only a few showers expected. A drop in humidity and windy conditions will prompt a fire weather watch in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Although temperatures were warm in the 90s, a cold front will bring cooler weather with lows in the 50s. A shift to high pressure will result in comfortable conditions, with temperatures eventually climbing back into the 80s mid-week before another front arrives.

SUMMARY: In Mexico, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador attacked the judiciary for blocking his reforms that mandated judges be elected rather than appointed, weakening investor confidence and the currency. This trend of populist leaders targeting the judiciary is observed globally, raising concerns about similar threats in the U.S. amid Donald Trump’s presidency.
