Hurricane Center keeps an eye on the tropics

Hurricane season opens with the Atlantic quiet for now.

The National Hurricane Center is watching the tropics as June begins, with the Atlantic basin quiet and a depression expected in the Pacific. Hurricane season is now part of the daily weather routine again for St. Johns County. Current tropical-weather conditions matter for beach plans, boaters, and anyone who likes to know what is forming before it becomes urgent.

Local officials warn about property-tax plan

The proposal drew local concern over core services.

Local officials are warning that a property-tax plan backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis could put police, schools, and other services at risk. The local angle is the response from officials who say the state proposal could affect basic services, not just tax bills. It is one to track because the debate connects state tax policy to local budgets residents actually feel.
