<P>WARM WEEK CONTINUES
<P>A nice weather pattern has set up across our part of Florida and it looks like we are in for several more days like today. Skies will be partly cloudy with daytime highs in the 80's through the weekend. Overnight lows will average in the mid to lower 60's each evening and there could be another round of fog in the mornings for the rest of the week. 
<P>The quiet weather will have a couple of very small "wrinkles" in the forecast. First, as mentioned, there will likely be fog to contend each morning. Some places will see thicker fog than others, and the burn-off time could vary by a few hours each days. Second, it is certainly possible that a brief shower could develop in the afternoon. There are showers on the radar today but they remain very isolated and are moving southeast to northwest. That will probably be the scenario for the next couple of days as well. 
<P>As some of the country continues to deal with chilly weather, winter storms and snow - we will enjoy a week of relatively great weather!
