Good morning, Hudson. It's Thursday, and we're looking at another hot one: 91 degrees with a chance of storms rolling through later in the day. That's pretty much the story straight through Labor Day weekend, so keep the umbrella handy.

Sixteen Pasco County Fire Rescue crew members are in Texas this morning, working a fire that has burned more than 90,000 acres. Closer to home, Shady Hills Elementary holds its open house today, and deputies picked up a small new friend in a parking lot.

Three food trucks are out tonight, Bayport Inn has all you can eat shrimp, and the weekend fills up fast after that with Jeep and Truck Night at Circle S on Friday and the Front Porch Art Walk in Hernando Beach on Saturday. There are 11 live music sets between now and Sunday. Enjoy your Thursday.
