Florida — Headlights blur into soft halos as fog hugs the pavement across North Florida. Moist air settles low, muting streetlights and shrinking visibility just as the morning commute begins. Drivers around Tallahassee face pockets of dense fog that can change quickly block by block.
Areas of fog linger through the early morning hours, with visibility reduced near five miles or less at times. Calm winds and saturated air have allowed fog and mist to thicken, especially near open fields and low-lying neighborhoods. Roads may appear clear one moment, then fade into gray the next.
According to the National Weather Service, fog should gradually lift by mid-morning as sunlight strengthens. Until then, slower travel is advised on major routes like U.S. 27, U.S. 90, and Capital Circle. Leave extra space between vehicles and use low-beam headlights.
Once fog clears, the day turns mild. Afternoon temperatures rise into the low 70s, well above normal for early January 2026. To be fair, the warmth feels welcome, but the same pattern repeats tonight. Patchy fog redevelops after sunset and returns again by early Wednesday.
Midweek stays quiet and warm. Highs climb into the mid to upper 70s, with mornings starting foggy before turning partly sunny. Clouds increase by Thursday, though rain holds off until later in the week.
By Friday and into the weekend, rain chances slowly increase. Showers remain scattered for now, but wetter pavement combined with morning fog could affect travel again. No winter weather threats are expected locally, though January remains a month for quick changes.
