<P>THE WHITE HOUSE IS SHOOTING DOWN A NEW G-O-P PLAN TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIF.
<P>THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE PROPOSAL WOULD LOWER TAX RATES FOR THE WEALTHY AND MAKE THE MIDDLE CLASS PAY FOR IT.
<P>IT CALLS FOR 800 BILLION DOLLARS IN HIGHER TAX REVENUE OVER 10 YEARS, AND IT WOULD KEEP THE BUSH-ERA TAX CUTS IN PLACE FOR ALL INCOME EARNERS.
<P>THE PRESIDENT SAYS REPUBLICANS NEED TO END THE TAX CUTS FOR FAMILIES MAKING MORE THAN 250 THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

<P>WARM START TO DECEMBER
<P>Is it actually December? Just curious because it sure doesn't feel like it! We've had a nice string of 80°+ weather, and with no cold fronts headed toward Southwest Florida this week, the warmer than normal weather will be here to stay for a while. 
<P>Daytime highs today will be a few notches above average with most places warming up into the low to mid 80s Tuesday afternoon. That comes after waking up to temperatures in the lower 60s.
<P>Like the last few days, winds will be pretty swift out of the east from 5-15 mph with the occasional gust up to 20 mph. Winds should begin to relax a little by Tuesday, so conditions won't be quite as breezy starting tomorrow. 
<P>Thus, with a mostly clear sky, light winds, and cool temperatures - expect patchy fog in the morning.
<P>Our sky will stay mostly sunny through the day with some clouds mixing in with the sunshine during the afternoon. Moisture will be very limited, so rain chances will be slim at best.
<P>The forecast through the remainder of the week will essentially be on cruise control. Daytime highs will be close to 80°, and overnight temps will cool to near 60°. Skies will stay mostly sunny to partly cloudy as our rain chance remains quite low.
