Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
It's Wednesday, and not only is the week halfway done, but we may actually get a break from the rain this afternoon and into the evening. If you've been feeling cooped up by this streak of gloomy weather, you may want to try an outdoor movie on the lawn at Amature Works. Tonight’s feature is “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Showtime is 8:15 p.m., so get there early to grab a spot on the (hopefully) dry grass.
