Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Tuesday, and we're waking up to another cloudy day in Tampa Bay. However, I have some good news for those of you on the coast. Meteorologist Greg Dee says he expects the coast to remain dry for the first time in the past few days, so while it won't be a sunny day at the beach, at least you'll be dry. However, for those closer to downtown Tampa, I'd probably grab a rain jacket this afternoon, just in case.
