Periods of high clouds will continue tonight with mainly mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and above normal overnight lows in the lower 60s inland and middle 60s along the Atlantic Coast. Some patchy fog will be possible over far inland areas by early Friday morning, mainly along the I-75 corridor of inland NE FL and the Suwannee River Valley.
