We also get an update about Tropical Storm Debby from Megan Borowski, interim director and chief meteorologist for the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.

And, our primary election coverage continues with a look at Duval County School Board District 5. We interview the third of three candidates, Hank Rogers. (You can watch our previous interviews with opponents Reginald Blount and Nahshon Nicks.)

Plus, pink boats, 20 paddlers and perfectly synchronized strokes. We’ll tell you the backstory of the First Coast Dragons and how you can get involved.
