intense, but showers understand a few thunderstorms can generate here. it's going to slowly back to the west. still a 60% chance to the west. thursday, starting to look and feel a little more like our average summer day. lots of early sunshine. 90 for our high temperature on thursday. as we get into friday, saturday, sunday, we'll start to shift back into that southeasterly pattern. the rain chances 40% through this period. seasonal averages as we head monday. but still kind of unsettled. overnight tonight, and certainly throughout the day for tomorrow. >> brace for more rain. thank you, steve. coming up in sports, the bucs are forced to take it inside for practice today. >> plus, a special night to remember, very special players from the bay area, back tonight
