Florida wakes up under a calm, humid sky as headlights glow through pockets of fog across central sections of the state. In the Orlando area, visibility drops quickly in low-lying neighborhoods, especially near lakes, wetlands, and major commuter routes.
Mild air dominates the region early, with temperatures sitting in the lower 60s before sunrise. Fog develops in waves and may linger into the morning commute, affecting stretches of I-4 and surface roads near Orlando International Airport.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy to locally dense fog is expected again Sunday morning. Light winds and high humidity create ideal conditions for reduced visibility, particularly before midmorning. Drivers should expect sudden changes in visibility and allow extra travel time.
As the fog lifts, sunshine returns and temperatures climb fast. Afternoon highs reach the upper 70s to near 80, well above late-December averages. The warmth supports busy holiday travel, outdoor events, and theme park crowds, but cooler nights keep fog concerns active.
Sunday night stays mild, with lows near the upper 50s. Fog may redevelop before dawn Monday, repeating the pattern. By Monday afternoon, highs again approach the upper 70s with breezy conditions developing late.
Looking ahead to the final days of the year, central Florida remains dry and warm. New Year’s Eve trends quiet, with comfortable evening temperatures and no rain expected. Cooler air slides in by midweek, bringing lower humidity and crisp mornings as 2026 begins.
Travelers should use low-beam headlights in fog, avoid sudden braking, and monitor airport delays during early departures. Conditions may look calm, but fog can thicken quickly near sunrise.
