The week of the new moon has arrived, and weather forecasters are predicting a week of consistency; northerly winds at 5-10 mph, daily temperatures from a low of 45 to a high of 78 and a weak high pressure system to move through Central Florida tomorrow, which produces a dropping barometer on Tuesday and perhaps Wednesday. ...more
