when it works, it works. when it doesn't, i can't fix it. wind speeds coming in here from the east at 6 miles per hour in orlando. calm in the villages, 9-mile-an-hour wind in ocala. visible satellite image showing exactly what's going on with the cloud cover. the bottom line here is not much. today. there will be a little bit tonight. overall, i'll call it partly cloudy until the fog sets up late night. it's going to be just cool enough that some of you will wake up to patchy fog. we've got enough moisture around. the dry spots are the blacks and oranges. the orange up north has left the carolinas and some of the moisture aloft has streamed in. we've had a little bit of cloud cover. during the next several hours, this is midnight tonight. no big changes except for patchy fog conditions in the area for sunrise tomorrow morning. troy will be in at that hour tracking that mess in the morning. when i say mess, i mean the fog. i don't expect it to be truly

but patchy fog can't be ruled out. by 7 a.m. wednesday, here comes the cold front. normally this time of year, if we get the el nino-driven cold fronts we're kind of scared but not this time. the front comes through with very little fanfare, maybe a shot, just like that. a burst of energy, and that's about it, we'll be done into the afternoon and evening by wednesday into thursday. let's talk temperatures. overnight low tonight in daytona beach is 54. which is really enjoyable. overnight low tonight, 54 in sanford and 56 in oviedo and 46 in ocala and 50 in the villages. tonight in titusville, 57. 61 in cocoa beach and 58 in kenansville. the low tonight in orlando, 58 degrees, mild conditions. patchy fog late. here's tuesday. first thing tomorrow morning, temperature reading is 61 degrees at 8 a.m. by noon, 77. the daytime high goes to about 80. so, yeah, a couple of great days coming up again tuesday and wednesday.

really kind of a wimpy little thing comes through here wednesday. it will drop us 5 degrees for the daytime high on thursday. but there will be no explosive thunderstorms, no action, no lightning. there will be no ruckus and we'll be back to normal. >> ginger: thank you, tom. >> if you're on the road and can't check your news 6 weather app, you can now get updates through one of our three radio partners all day long. chief meteorologist tom sorrells and meteorologist troy bridges are pinpointing your weather on 105.9 sunny fm, 101.9 amp radio, and mix 105.1. >> ginger: well, we're following breaking news happening in volusia county right now. it's where a brushfire is quickly spreading. you can see these are live pictures from sky 6 flying over oak hill. this is near highlander drive. officials tell us the fire is spread over half an acre right now. you can see lots of smoke in the area. so possibly causing some problems for folks who are nearby. you can see some homes in the distance there. we will keep a close eye on this.
