Monday is a busy day at the Jupiter Community Center, with fitness, painting, games, line dancing and an evening self-defense class. OLLI at FAU Jupiter has a midday talk on the Dead Sea Scrolls, the lighthouse holds Twilight Yoga at dusk, and two local stages have free live music after dark. For families, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary has three animal programs, and Loggerhead Marinelife Center is still collecting Halloween candy wrappers.
Plan around the weather. The National Weather Service gives Jupiter a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday, with a high near 81, east winds gusting to about 25 mph and up to an inch of new rain. A Flood Watch runs until 3 p.m. Monday and a Coastal Flood Advisory until 7 p.m. Monday. The high rip current risk lasts through 7 p.m. Tuesday, so stay out of the ocean. Check with outdoor hosts before heading out.
