Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Grab an umbrella on your way out to work or school because it looks like we'll have a rainy afternoon ahead of us this Wednesday. I hope you haven't put your sweaters away just yet, either, because another cold front is headed for the state's west coast. I know most Floridians are desperate to return to our regularly scheduled programming of heat and sunshine, but at least we're not still dealing with snow.
