Good morning, Jupiter.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County will host its Women Build 2026 event that gathers 400 women over two days, kicking off at the new paddle club in West Palm Beach on January 16th—this 40th anniversary build aims to raise $750,000 to construct three new homes and repair three while offering community volunteer sessions throughout the lead-up. Participants are invited to join and support the project as it helps women work together to create lasting homeownership opportunities.
On October 21st, Invest 98L became Tropical Storm Melissa as the 13th named storm of the season.
Forecasters said it might strengthen into a hurricane in the Caribbean—Florida residents are advised to monitor tropical updates, though a direct hit is unlikely.
Following a directive from the FAA, Palm Beach County residents faced a year-round flight ban within one nautical mile of Mar-a-Lago effective October 20—measures put in place after an FBI investigation discovered a suspicious structure near the presidential flight path.
The new rule has altered flight paths at Palm Beach International Airport—raising concerns of increased noise for nearby communities.
Florida's law to keep daylight saving time year-round remains unimplemented as Congress must still approve the change, and lawmakers reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act in 2025—while polls show Americans are split on whether to permanently adopt daylight saving or standard time. This debate continues as nearly 40 states have pushed for an end to the biannual clock changes.
