Florida starts the morning wrapped in a soft, hazy curtain as patchy fog drifts across I-4, blurring headlights and hugging pond edges across Orlando. The December air feels damp and mild, and the quiet stillness signals another round of reduced visibility that could shape early travel both today and Sunday.
Drivers should expect visibility to vary block by block—one moment clear, the next muted and gray. Calm winds allow the fog to settle low over surface streets, so keep headlights on and slow down near intersections and construction zones. Meteorologists note that soil moisture and cool dawn temperatures continue to favor rapid fog formation, especially before sunrise.
As the morning brightens, skies turn sunny and warm, with temperatures climbing toward the low 70s. This gentle warm-up continues Saturday, though fog returns before sunrise, creating another early-day slowdown for theme-park travelers, airport traffic, and holiday shoppers hitting the road before 8 a.m. To be fair, the fog won’t last long, but while it lingers, it can reduce visibility to dangerous levels.
Sunday follows the same pattern: patchy fog early, sunshine by midday, and highs pushing into the upper 70s. Light northwest winds develop late in the day, helping conditions clear for evening plans. For now, the region avoids December cold snaps impacting the Midwest and Northeast, but residents should remain alert; models hint at a possible shift toward cooler nights next week.
Five-Day Outlook:
Saturday: Fog early, sunny afternoon; high 76.
Sunday: Fog before 8 a.m., then sunny; high 77.
Monday: Sunny and warm; high 64.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, light breezes; high 71.
Wednesday: Partly sunny; high 72.
