Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Tuesday, and there's a pretty good chance that at least some of us in the Tampa Bay area will get some rain today. Meteorologist Greg Dee says scattered rain is likely today, and the rain chances will rise as we head into the afternoon. With high humidity and afternoon showers, does it feel like summer yet? Unfortunately, I'm here to remind you we still have a good way to go until spring ends and this forecast becomes the norm.
