Florida – Headlights glow through thin fog along quiet roadways as warm air settles over northeast Florida. Visibility drops in spots before sunrise, offering the clearest early signal of changing conditions.
Across Jacksonville and Duval County, patchy fog develops during the early morning hours, especially near waterways and low-lying neighborhoods. Drivers may encounter sudden visibility reductions on I-95, I-295, and surface roads, though conditions improve quickly after sunrise.
Temperatures remain unseasonably mild. Early readings sit in the mid-50s, climbing into the mid-to-upper 70s each afternoon. Skies turn mostly sunny after fog lifts, keeping pavement dry and travel smooth through the daytime hours.
Fog may redevelop late at night into early morning again Friday and Saturday. Calm winds and high humidity create ideal conditions for brief visibility issues. Commuters and holiday travelers should slow down in fog-prone areas and allow extra stopping distance before sunrise.
Daytime conditions stay favorable. Friday and Saturday both reach near 76 degrees, with light winds and partly sunny skies. Outdoor plans remain largely uninterrupted, and airport operations should stay on schedule once fog clears.
Sunday continues the warm pattern. Highs approach 78 degrees, with sunshine dominating the afternoon. Roads remain dry, and travel conditions stay steady for return trips. Sunday night turns partly cloudy, with lows near 58 degrees.
Looking ahead to Monday, skies remain mostly sunny with highs near 77 degrees. No rain is expected, though fog could briefly return before dawn. Cooler air arrives later in the week, but no cold snap or winter weather is forecast.
Travelers should stay alert during early mornings. Use low beams in fog. Expect improving conditions by mid-morning. For now, Florida’s holiday weather favors smooth travel and springlike warmth as December winds down.
