Florida – Headlights glow softly through thick fog across North Florida this morning, blurring stoplights and dampening pavement as commuters ease into the day. The air feels mild for late December, but visibility drops quickly before sunrise, creating early travel concerns on major routes.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread dense fog develops early today before gradually lifting by midmorning. Tallahassee and surrounding communities could see visibility drop below a quarter mile, especially along Capital Circle, U.S. 27, and I-10. Once fog clears, sunshine takes over with highs climbing into the mid-70s.
The mild pattern continues through the weekend. Saturday brings areas of fog again early, then partly sunny skies with highs near the upper 70s. Conditions remain calm, helping holiday travel once fog lifts. Saturday night stays quiet with mild temperatures near 60.
Sunday introduces a subtle change. Clouds increase, and a slight chance of showers develops during the afternoon. Roads may briefly turn slick, though rainfall remains light. Sunday night trends partly cloudy as humidity lingers.
By Monday, shower chances rise again across North Florida. Highs reach the upper 70s before cooler air begins filtering in behind the system. Monday night turns noticeably cooler, with lows dropping into the upper 30s. That shift may catch travelers off guard after several warm days.
Looking ahead to New Year’s week 2026, cooler and drier air settles in. Tuesday stays sunny with highs near the low 50s. New Year’s Eve on Wednesday appears clear and crisp, with cool evening temperatures favorable for outdoor plans.
Drivers should slow down in fog, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra time during early morning travel. Conditions improve quickly later each day.
