And the closer to the coast this morning, its a little bit warmer. We are around 60 in bradenton but everybody cooler than this time yesterday. Plant city, 11 degrees cooler.

Brooksville, zephyr hills across the interior, 40 degrees and we are generally in the 40s and 50s, but there is no wind chill. Its not significant wind out there like yesterday as the front barrels through, look what happens here, 61 by lunchtime. 62 by the commute, thats all we are going to muster. Temperatures in the low 60s, setting the stage for a colder night, well talk about that in a few minutes, lets check in with janelle. Reporter fhp is on the scene of what they are calling a fatal crash. Lake alfred area in polk county. This is south of i4, one westbound lane affected, so not a huge traffic problem, but you will see a lot of flashing lights, use some caution if you the other trouble spot, convocation in clear water, chestnut closed from Fort Harrison to myrtle avenue starting from 5 00 am this morning through tomorrow
Were going to have pockets of very dense fog, were talking under a quartermile in spots. Use extreme caution. Then there you see a quarter mile then your next door neighbor 10mile visibility which is unlimited essentially. That is the issue. And janelle is going to show you the different Traffic Cameras depicting just that, very foggy ones and ones not as foggy. So this is not a widespread from toptobottom fog situation here which makes it more dangerous. So certainly be careful and well talk about the futurecast, this is important as to when the fog lifts. Watch the stations there fipg to get going. Around 8 00 you see the visibility somewhat improving but still pockets of dense fog. That is 8 00. Of course by 9 00 and 10 00 well lift the fog as we get the sunshine. And then were in pretty good shape i think as far as temperatures. Right now 49 ruskin. 44, almost 30s in Crystal River. Were going to hit the low 70s regardless though by the time fog, that gives way of course to sunshine
