Florida starts the day with a muted, milky sky over Orlando as dense fog clings to fields, lakes, and low-lying neighborhoods. Pavement feels damp, headlights glow in the haze, and the first wave of early holiday travelers will notice slower stretches on local roads. Drivers should plan extra minutes this morning because visibility may shift street-to-street before sunshine finally breaks through.
As the fog lifts, warmer air pushes back in and keeps the region firmly in late-November “false summer” mode. Most of Central Florida remains stable today, but the fog window through 9 a.m. is the main travel concern. Anyone leaving for early Thanksgiving trips should check routes twice, especially along I-4, where sudden pockets of reduced visibility form quickly. By midday, sunshine strengthens and roads dry out, offering smooth conditions for errands, events, and outbound travel.
Saturday continues the trend with patchy fog near sunrise again, then bright skies and highs in the lower 80s. A very slim sprinkle chance returns Sunday afternoon, though any rainfall remains brief and light. Warm evenings stay calm, which helps returning fog rebuild before dawn on several mornings through early next week.
Looking ahead, national models hint at a major pattern shift elsewhere in the U.S. as Thanksgiving approaches. A surge of colder air is expected to spread across the Plains, Midwest, and East Coast, with early signals of heavy snow potential from November 25 through early December. Florida won’t feel the frost or snow, but those flying or driving northward should expect possible delays and weather-related ripple effects.
