Florida – A soft milky haze clings to the St. Johns River before sunrise, and pockets of shallow fog drift between pine stands along I-295. Streetlights glow with a faint halo, signaling early caution for Thanksgiving travelers heading to work or school. Drivers should slow on bridges and low-lying stretches where fog thickens fastest and keep headlights on low beam for better visibility.
According to the National Weather Service Jacksonville office, warm and stable late-fall air takes hold today. Sunshine builds quickly, pushing highs into the upper 70s. Winds stay light, and that calm setup allows patchy fog to redevelop late tonight and again early Wednesday. Travel may briefly slow along Highway 17 and US-1 as visibility changes block to block. Moisture stays shallow, so road surfaces remain dry and safe once fog lifts.
According to forecasters, Wednesday starts with another bout of morning fog. Any denser pockets form near wetlands south of town, especially closer to Green Cove Springs. Skies turn sunny by midday with highs near the lower 80s, a warm stretch typical of Florida’s November transitions. Conditions favor last-minute yardwork, grocery runs, or early holiday preparations.
According to early model trends, Thursday stays mild and bright. Light northeasterly winds arrive in the afternoon but do not dramatically change humidity. Skies remain mostly sunny with minimal travel disruptions across Duval, Clay, and Nassau counties. While a Winter Tease is appearing in northern states this week, North Florida continues with a warm pattern that stretches toward the holiday weekend.
The weekend remains seasonable and quiet. Highs hold in the upper 70s and lower 80s with no major systems approaching. Outdoor events, family arrivals, and early Thanksgiving trips should encounter smooth conditions through Sunday.
