Good morning, Jupiter.

Jupiter will host the Ninth Annual Pumpkin Fest on October 11 at Harborside Place with a pumpkin patch, haunted house, live music, food and trick-or-treating for over 50 vendors.

The event will benefit the Chasing a Dream Foundation—recently noted for giving more than $1.4 million to assist families with children facing life-threatening illnesses, including cancer.

Hurricane Gabrielle rapidly intensified into a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds and passed Bermuda Monday night as it moved into the open Atlantic—life-threatening surf has led the National Weather Service to issue a rip current statement for Florida’s east coast down to West Palm Beach until Thursday.

The National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Gabrielle, a powerful storm with 140 mph winds, is expected to weaken and move away from Florida while causing big waves and strong rip currents along the East Coast — one or two tropical depressions may also form soon in the Atlantic.

Residents are advised to stay informed as these conditions could bring heavy rain in parts of the Caribbean.

Local leaders and families built networks and renewed their commitment to better services during the event.

Dr. Jeffrey Litt, a Jupiter OB/GYN with 40 years of practice, said Tylenol remains a safe option for treating pain and fever during pregnancy.
