Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
I think we can all agree that the weather was just a bit crazy over the weekend. There was rain, a breeze and even double waterspouts, which were spotted in Bradenton and other Tampa Bay waters on Sunday afternoon. As for Monday, we're looking at more rain, which our meteorologists said will be small but intense. Don't get your hopes up for any cooler weather, either—we're still expecting temperatures in the 90s. If you were planning any outdoor activities today, you may want to reschedule (or, dare we say, take a rain check?)
