Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Monday, and Tampa Bay is slowly easing back into the week after a busy two days. If you're a fan of a team that lost in the first round of March Madness, you've likely had time to recover. However, if you're a Florida Gator fan or a Texas Tech fan, it's probably still fresh. Meteorologist Ally Blake says we'll see an abundance of sunshine today, so hopefully that will help ease the sting of choosing a new team to root for during March.
