Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Friday, and if youve been outside lately, you may have noticed a nice breeze rolling through the Tampa Bay-area. If you didn't have a chance to take advantage of the comfortable breeze yesterday, don't worry, it's going to continue into today. While we are still in Florida, and the palm tree leaves won't change into an array of fall colors, we can still enjoy this rare taste of fall before the heat returns.
