Jacksonville, FL – Dense fog is impacting road conditions across inland northeast Florida early Wednesday morning, reducing visibility along major highways, including Interstate 10 and Interstate 75.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, the fog will continue to develop through sunrise, with visibility dropping below one mile at times. Affected areas include the I-10 corridor from Jacksonville Westside to Lake City and the I-75 corridor from Lake City to Ocala. The fog is expected to lift by 9 a.m.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving, especially in low-lying areas and near bodies of water where fog tends to be denser. Drivers should use low-beam headlights, maintain safe following distances, and allow extra time for morning commutes.
This morning’s fog follows a pattern of recent humid conditions and light winds, creating ideal conditions for fog formation. Travelers should check local traffic reports for real-time updates and potential delays.
The National Weather Service recommends staying alert for sudden changes in visibility and avoiding high speeds in fog-affected areas. Once the fog dissipates, mostly clear skies and mild temperatures are expected throughout the day
