Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
I know—you're probably sick of hearing about the bad weather. You may have even been one of the hundreds impacted by flight cancellations and delays at Tampa International Airport yesterday. As frustrating as it can be, stay prepared: the National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring a low-pressure system off the eastern coast of Florida that has the potential to develop into a stronger storm. It's set to move west and cross over the state on Tuesday, bringing thunderstorms and rain along the way. For those of you who are out and about, keep a close eye on the forecast.
