On Tuesday, some relief may occur as the rain lessens briefly, but showers and thunderstorms are still likely. Hurricane Milton is strengthening, with impacts anticipated later in the week.

Rays’ new stadium deal paused, Tropicana Field repair initiative fails | Florida
SUMMARY: The Tampa Bay Rays face uncertainty after their deal for a $1.3 billion stadium in St. Petersburg collapsed due to two partners deferring votes on $600 million in taxpayer bonds. A recent City Council vote reversed approval of $23 million for a new roof on Tropicana Field, which was damaged by Hurricane Milton. Without repairs, the Rays may not have a home after 2026, as they currently plan to play at George Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. City officials will propose a maintenance plan within 90 days, while Rays leadership remains hopeful for a possible resolution.

How Trump’s mass deportation plans could impact Florida
SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan, which aims to remove undocumented migrants, could significantly impact Florida. While Trump vows to begin deportations on day one, Florida’s state leaders, including House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton, have stated that immigration policy is a federal issue, not within the state’s purview. Florida Democrats, like Rep. Marie Woodson, express concerns about the plan’s potential for racial profiling and economic disruption. With over 1 million undocumented residents in Florida, the deportations could hurt the state’s workforce, particularly in hospitality and construction, affecting local economies.
Donald Trump says his mass deportation plan is coming on his first day as president. It could have huge impacts on Florida’s hospitality, construction, and agriculture sectors.
