Wednesday weather: sunny skies, warmer

St. PETERSBURG -- Lots of sun, a little fog, no rain.

That's what forecasters expect for today, and the fog warning is just until 9 a.m.

The fog was so bad in parts of Pinellas, Hillsborough and Hernando counties this morning that visibility was just a quarter-mile on some roads, forecasters said.

But later this morning and afternoon, the skies will clear and the Tampa Bay area will warm up, according to the National Weather Service.

The high is expected to be in the upper 70s in St. Petersburg and in the mid 80s in Tampa.

Patchy fog will return to area roads after 3 a.m. until about 8 a.m., giving way to a Wednesday of mostly sunny skies and a continuation of the warm weather and dry conditions that are expected to last through the week.
