Florida – A warm, hazy dawn spreads across Tampa Bay as humid air settles over still neighborhoods and quiet bridges. Patchy fog clings to parking lots and grassy medians, hinting at slower early travel as Thanksgiving week begins. Drivers on I-275, the Howard Frankland Bridge, and Bayshore Boulevard should plan extra buffer time Tuesday morning as fog may thicken before sunrise.

According to the National Weather Service Tampa Bay office, today stays mostly sunny with a light west breeze. Humidity builds quickly, especially inland from Brandon to Carrollwood, where early haze may linger near shaded groves. Residents taking advantage of the warm November stretch for yard cleanup or early holiday decorating should stay hydrated and schedule breaks as temperatures climb.

According to meteorologists, Tuesday brings the most impactful weather. Models hint at widespread fog forming before 8 a.m., especially near waterways and low-lying communities. Drivers should expect slowdowns on I-4 and the Veterans Expressway, where visibility could drop without warning. Though temperatures remain far from freezing, this setup marks an early-season “Weather Tease,” showing how November transitions can still deliver hazards without snow or ice.

According to regional guidance, Wednesday brings brighter skies and steady warmth. Sunshine supports stronger local travel and outdoor plans across Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. Late in the week, temperatures stay warm with little rain expected. Weekend travel looks smooth, though rising humidity could spark more patchy fog early Saturday.
