It's Election Day, and there's still plenty on the calendar. The morning brings a free balance class at Old Town Hall and an OLLI lecture at FAU's Jupiter campus. In the afternoon there's drop-in bridge, and at night you can pick from Jukebox Bingo, "Orphans" at the Maltz or live music at Square Grouper. Public school students have the day off, and families can catch two animal programs at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, story times at the Gardens Branch Library and Kids Night at Tiki 52 in Tequesta.
Voting: Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Election Day you must vote at your assigned precinct. Find yours with the Supervisor of Elections' Precinct Finder at votepalmbeach.gov or by calling 561-656-6200. The Jupiter Community Center and the Jupiter Branch Library are both polling places, so allow extra time for parking if you're going there for a class.
Weather: The National Weather Service gives Jupiter a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday, with a high near 84 and east winds gusting to about 22 mph. A Coastal Flood Advisory and a high rip current risk last until 7 p.m., so stay out of the ocean and don't drive through standing water. After Sunday night's flooding, Jupiter's athletic fields and Cinquez Dog Park were closed Monday, and Palm Beach Gardens closed all city parks. Check before heading to any outdoor spot.
