Red tide prediction map shows worsening conditions on Pinellas County beaches
Justin Matthews reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The red tide crisis is ruining a lot of people s plans for a day at the beach in Pinellas County but thanks to researchers at the University of South Florida, there s a way to look at the forecast of red tide for the next few days.
Researchers at USF are taking data of how much red tide there is and measuring ocean currents to figure out where the blooms are going and when.
The map may look like a toddler had some fun with a crayon, but the squiggly lines show crucial information about Karenia brevis or red tide and where it s flowing in the bay and the gulf.

Healthcare disparities exist in Kansas City whether that means vaccine accessibility, food security, or mental health resources.
The health care disparity in Kansas City is largely shaped by where you live and how much money you make.
There are regions of the metro with quality access to health care and those without it. The Health Forward Foundation is fighting this by awarding $3.4 million in grants to 36 nonprofit organizations. The idea is to make people, especially in low-income neighborhoods, healthier. Two grant recipients share their goals for improving health care in the city.

RUSSELL The Russell City Council voted unanimously to authorize Mayor Ron Simpson to sign a lease with Eridanus Brewing to rent the train depot. There was pointed discussion before the vote to clarify the responsibilities of the city and the renter with regards to conditional repairs and improvements. City Clerk Joy Conley pointed out that the city would be responsible, for instance, if the roof of the structure needed repaired, but that the renters would be responsible for any additions they chose to make.
