Florida drivers step into hazy air this morning as fog hangs low over roads and neighborhoods. Headlights glow through mist, and visibility drops fast in spots. Conditions improve later today, but changes stack up as the weekend unfolds across east-central Florida.
According to the National Weather Service, dense fog lingers through the early morning hours, especially near inland roads and low-lying areas around Melbourne. Visibility may dip below a mile at times, making the morning commute tricky on I-95, U.S. 1, and causeways near the Indian River. Slow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
Fog lifts by mid-morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies. Afternoon temperatures climb to the low 80s, well above January norms. A light breeze develops, and outdoor plans stay comfortable through daylight hours.
Patchy fog returns late tonight and again early Saturday. Morning visibility issues remain possible, especially before 9 a.m. Saturday turns warm again, with highs near 82 and plenty of sun once fog burns off. To be fair, it may feel more like late spring than winter.
Changes arrive Sunday. Clouds increase, and a passing system brings a small chance of showers by afternoon. Highs cool into the upper 70s. Winds turn northerly Sunday night, ushering in noticeably cooler air.
By Monday, mornings feel crisp by Florida standards. Highs reach the upper 60s, with lows dipping into the upper 40s by night. Jackets come back into play for early walks and school drop-offs. Tuesday moderates slightly but stays cooler than recent days.
Conditions remain quiet, but fog risks return during clear, calm mornings. Driving early? Tell us where visibility stayed lowest today.
