Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Monday, and while the calendar says we're still in spring, if you step outside this afternoon, it may feel like we're right in the middle of a typical Florida summer. Meteorologist Greg Dee says today will be hot and humid with cloudy skies, and while summer weather is usually accompanied by afternoon showers, most of us will stay dry this afternoon. If today's humidity is unpleasant, don't worry, I'm sure it won't get worse over the next few months.
