Florida greets the morning under a thin veil of fog drifting across quiet roads.
Headlights glow softly, and visibility drops in pockets near neighborhoods and low-lying areas.
Patchy fog lingers early around the Orlando area, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Visibility may dip before improving later this morning as sunshine strengthens. Drivers should slow down in fog-prone spots, especially near intersections and shaded roadways.
Once the fog lifts, sunshine takes control. Temperatures climb steadily into the mid-70s today, delivering a mild and comfortable February afternoon. Winds stay light, and conditions remain calm for outdoor plans.
Clear skies dominate tonight, allowing temperatures to cool into the upper 40s. The air feels crisp by Florida standards, but no freeze concerns are expected. Early risers Tuesday will notice fast warming after sunrise.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, a warm front strengthens across central Florida. Highs rise into the upper 70s, with mostly sunny skies and increasing humidity. Midday warmth builds quickly, making it feel more like early spring than winter.
Thursday and Friday continue the trend. Afternoon temperatures approach 78 to 79 degrees, with dry conditions holding firm. Nights remain mild, keeping morning fog a possibility where winds go calm.
Looking toward the weekend and early next week, rain chances slowly return. Isolated showers become possible by Saturday, with slightly higher humidity and breezier conditions developing. Even then, temperatures remain above seasonal averages, signaling a prolonged February warm stretch across much of Florida.
While winter weather grips much of the northern U.S., east-central Florida stays locked in a quiet, warm pattern. The biggest daily concern remains morning fog, not cold or storms.
