SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - After early morning fog, our warm days continue this weekend and through Wednesday of next week. Along with the warm days we have warmer mornings with higher humidity, which will lead to morning dew and fog in some areas, too. But these days are numbered. We’re tracking a cold front that will move across the Suncoast Wednesday night.
