Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Sure, we might see a light drizzle or shower this morning, but don't stress, Tampa Bay—the sun will return later today. We also have an awful lot of events going on for a Tuesday. Tonight, Paula Anka will perform at Ruth Eckerd Hall, and MJ, a musical homage to Michael Jackson, is set to debut at The Straz. If sports are more your speed, the Toronto Blue Jays will go head-to-head against the St. Louis Cardinals in Dunedin, while the Lightning take on the Oilers in Tampa.
