Florida – A thick morning haze drapes low across Jacksonville, softening streetlights and leaving beads of moisture on railings and car hoods. The air feels warm and still, and patches of dense fog hug open fields near I-10, reducing visibility in unpredictable bursts. Travelers heading out early for errands or early Thanksgiving prep should slow down and build extra time into their routes.
According to the National Weather Service Jacksonville office, localized dense fog continues through midmorning across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. Observations show the lowest visibility from Lake City to the St. Johns River, including stretches of I-295 and U.S. 17. Forecasters warn that visibility may briefly fall to one-quarter mile or less. Drivers should reduce speed, leave extra distance, and keep low-beam headlights on until conditions improve.
Sunshine breaks through late this morning as warm air spreads north. According to meteorologists, highs reach the upper 70s today with light southwest winds. The pattern stays calm and steady into Sunday, though small pockets of patchy fog may redevelop before sunrise. Sunday turns breezy at times, with highs pushing the upper 70s and a gentle west wind strengthening by afternoon. Families preparing early holiday travel can expect clear skies for most outdoor tasks, from decorating to yard cleanup.
Monday continues the warm streak. According to NWS guidance, highs climb into the mid-70s under full sun. The warmth offers a sharp contrast to the winterlike swings felt farther north, and Jacksonville sits firmly in a stable November pattern. While no rain or storm threat appears through Monday, travelers should stay aware of recurring early-morning fog pockets as traffic increases heading into Thanksgiving week.
Tuesday stays sunny and warm, reinforcing a pleasant stretch for northeast Florida. After all, November often delivers brief calm spells before late-month fronts return.
