TAMPA, Fla — Good morning Tampa Bay! We made it halfway through the workweek.
Let's get started with the stories you need to know about.
No vaccine sign-ups today 💉
While the state has dodged the freezing temperatures wreaking havoc on most of the United States, it is now feeling the impacts of the shipping delays tied to the weather.
Publix said weather-related problems were preventing government deliveries of coronavirus vaccine doses.
Luckily, Florida appointments already scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday will still go on as planned. So, it's really only Publix's booking process that's impacted.

Shark on the shore
The body of a sand tiger shark washed ashore Tuesday morning on St. Augustine Beach.
The 8'4'' foot female sand tiger shark drew a crowd of curious onlookers to the beach. This kind of shark is in these waters in the winter and spring.
The shark appears to be tagged, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which could help scientists learn more about the animal.
