Florida greets this Monday with cool air brushing against warm pavement, setting up hazy views and pockets of fog across the Tallahassee area. Headlights glow softly through the mist early, a reminder that winter here often brings visibility issues instead of cold snaps.
According to the National Weather Service, Tallahassee starts the day near the lower 50s before warming quickly under sunshine. Highs climb near 70 today, with calm winds allowing fog to redevelop during early mornings through midweek.
Drivers should stay alert during the morning commute, especially along Capital Circle, U.S. 27, and rural stretches where fog forms fastest. Visibility may drop suddenly before improving by mid-morning as sunshine strengthens.
Tuesday and Wednesday continue the trend. Patchy fog develops again early, then fades into mostly sunny afternoons with highs in the mid to upper 70s. While this warmth feels more like early fall than the first week of winter, it brings its own travel concerns ahead of Christmas.
Christmas Eve appears quiet but watchful. Morning fog may linger longer in low-lying areas before skies brighten. With many residents traveling before sunrise, slower speeds and extra following distance remain smart moves.
Unlike much of the country dealing with snow and ice, North Florida’s seasonal risk comes from rapid visibility changes. Fog can thicken quickly near wooded roads and open fields, especially after clear nights.
This warm December pattern holds through Christmas Day, keeping outdoor plans comfortable but commutes cautious. Traveling early or late this week? Let us know where fog is thickest and how conditions look near you.
