We've been talking about the heat in Tampa for what seems like months now, and come to find out it may rain. That'll cool off the Cowboys.
Weather.com predicts scattered thunderstorms in the Tampa Bar area for Sunday, with a 40 percent chance of rain. The high is expected to be 88 degrees, with a low of 77.
The Cowboys did get a look at wet weather during practice Friday, a first since they returned from the Alamodome. While the rain had subsided by the first whistle of the day, the practice fields were still pretty moist.
Wade Phillips says the weather won't be an issue.
"We do wet ball stuff anyway in the preseason," the coach said. "We haven't played much in the wet weather since I've been here, and we probably won't play too many.
"Most of the time teams can execute in the rain."
