Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Keep your eyes on the skies today, Tampa Bay. January's full moon, also known as the Wolf Moon, will be making an appearance, reaching its peak illumination around 5:27 p.m. NASA officials said it will also pass in front of the planet Mars, with the bright star Pollux above it. But if you miss it, don't worry— the moon will appear full through Wednesday morning. Let's just hope our weather cooperates.
