Thursday starts with bingo and brunch for the 50+ crowd at the Jupiter Community Center. Later you can meet adoptable pets during Yappy Hour at the Furry Friends thrift shop, hear Eagles hits from the Kevin Kelly Trio at Double Roads Tavern, or join the weekly Harbourside Place Run Club. The Maltz has an evening show of "Orphans," and Easy Street plays Square Grouper. Families can choose from toddler open gym, a homeschool morning at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, preschool stories in Palm Beach Gardens and a birds of prey program at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary.
Weather: The National Weather Service forecast for Jupiter calls for a sunny Thursday with a high near 84, cooling to around 80 in the afternoon, and a light northeast breeze. A Coastal Flood Statement is in effect until 7 p.m. Thursday, so low-lying roads and docks near the water may see some flooding around high tide. The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County's swim advisory, issued Nov. 3, still covers DuBois Park, Jupiter Beach Park and Coral Cove Park. The beach at the Jupiter Civic Center remains closed, and the town has cancelled all Civic Center reservations for November and December.
