Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
It's Monday again, and I think most of us are still trying to wake up from a Fourth of July haze. Hopefully, the weather didn't ruin your chance at having a good holiday weekend, but if your plans were canceled, know you weren't alone. Multiple events across Tampa Bay were called off, including Anna Maria Island's parade and the North Port Freedom Festival (which was postponed until Aug. 30). As far as this week goes, it still may not be the greatest time to hit the beach, but we will see less rain. Something to look forward to?
