already pushed out into the gulf of mexico. but within the last couple of minutes, one thin line of shower activity popped up here. this is northern portions of pasco county. there's shady hills and this shower is gently heading in that direction. so low top shower, no lightning with it here. going up 15 to 20,000 feet. back towards the coast and the rain chances should start to wind down completely within the next hour. then we'll look at additional chance for rain as we go into the next couple of days. take a look at some beautiful photos, nice sunset. u sending us that beautiful picture, and then tonight, it was a super moon. we had a couple of those from seabring, and our good friend, jackie from tampa as well. be sure to send us all of your photos. when you wake up tomorrow, u' passing clouds. northeast winds will continue. 81 by noon tomorrow. we'll call it partly cloudy with a steady east breeze. and a few more showers and thunderstorms developing by the afternoon. temperatures not quite as warm as today. with a little bit more cloudiness, 85 degrees. 78 now for mcdill. a mix of middle and upper 70s. towards north port. so, we had a lot of this red on top of us. we had a lot of dry air today. that limited the shower and thunderstorm coverage. but now you can see it is some blue in areas of green, moisture starting to increase, and that's going to lead to the slightly better coverage of rain for tomorrow. not quite as much dry air aloft. but that doesn't last long. you see that red starting to roll back across the state. that dryer air returning for late monday into tuesday; so our rain chances are going high pressure off to the north and east, we'll have general east, northeasterly wind flow as we go through tomorrow. this evening, right on into tomorrow. anything that pops up will start on the east coast and make its way back towards the west coast. we'll see a few more showers and storms and also i think we'll see a better chance of seeing some lightning as well. with some of the storms tomorrow. monday morning, mainly dry for your monday morning commute. and then by the afternoon, again, rain chances will be long-term, dew points are going to stay fairly high, but then by the end of the week, that's when the next cold front slides in and that one could pack a significant punch, bringing us very dry air and some cooler temperatures. that's reflected in your eight- day forecast. we'll have 10% rain chances. climbing back to 30% by thursday and friday, and the weekend is still up in the air. by this point, it's looking cooler and dryer. >> that's a absolutely. coming up, the lightning fall into an early deficit. another early deficit. they are looking to rally for a second straight win. plus, the bulls seek
