<P>COOLER WEATHER ON THE HORIZON 
<P>One more day of 80 degree weather is in the forecast tomorrow, and some weather changes are on the way starting Thursday. I expect partly cloudy skies tonight with a low of 62 degrees by tomorrow morning. There will probably be another round of fog forming in the morning - mainly inland. The daytime forecast for Wednesday looks partly cloudy with a high of 82 degrees once again. This will make for 14 days of 80 degree weather this month! 
<P>On Thursday the forecast weather maps show a cold front moving toward Florida. This time, the front is expected to move through the state and by Friday we will see noticeably cooler air move down the peninsula. A few rain showers are possible on Thursday as the front arrives and high temperatures top out in the 70's. Skies will be cloudy on Thursday and some lingering clouds will be around on Friday. As you make your plans for the weekend, expect daytime highs in the 70's and overnight lows dropping back into the mid and lower 50's. The cooler weather that returns this weekend is actually more in line with typical January weather; however, indications point to even cooler weather possible by the middle of next week.
