Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
After some pesky fog, we're finally back to our regularly scheduled programming of warm and sunny weather, making it the perfect day to go out after work. "A Beautiful Noise," the jukebox musical based on the life and songs of Neil Diamond, has finally made its way to Tampa and debuts today at the Straz. If you'd prefer to enjoy the great outdoors, Lake Park in Lutz and Mosiac Peace River Park in Bartow have both recently reopened. Maybe a picnic?
