Florida — Soft morning light settles on the St. Johns River as a warm breeze pushes through palm fronds and the pavement holds a faint shimmer from lingering humidity. It feels calm now, but the region faces increasing travel-weather concerns as Thanksgiving approaches, especially with fog developing on several mornings.
According to the National Weather Service, Jacksonville enjoys sunshine and highs in the low 80s today, giving residents a perfect window to prep vehicles, plan Thanksgiving routes, and knock out early errands. However, forecasters warn that patchy fog may form late tonight into Friday morning, reducing visibility along I-95, I-10, US-17, and coastal corridors. Travelers heading out around sunrise should slow down, use low beams, and expect quick changes in visibility.
Friday turns warm again with highs near 82, but fog remains the early-morning wildcard. The warm pattern holds through Saturday, which pushes close to the mid-80s—well above November norms. To be fair, this stretch offers excellent conditions for outdoor prep, yardwork, and early holiday decorating, but the persistent humidity means fog could return on multiple mornings.
While Florida stays far removed from early-season snow threats, national models continue to highlight a “Winter Tease” across the central and eastern U.S. next week. Some states to the north may see heavy snow potential between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3, especially across the Midwest, Appalachians, and interior Northeast. Anyone flying from Jacksonville through hubs like Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, or Philadelphia should monitor airline alerts closely.
Sunday remains sunny and warm before slightly cooler readings arrive early next week—still mild, but signaling the broader holiday-season shift.
Five-Day Outlook
Friday: Mostly sunny; patchy fog early; highs near 82.
Saturday: Sunny and warm; highs near 83.
Sunday: Sunny; highs near 80.
