Florida – Soft, milky fog drapes over Orlando before sunrise, glowing under streetlights and blurring the outlines of palm trees as morning traffic begins to build. The warm November air feels still and heavy, hinting at another round of low visibility that could disrupt the first wave of Thanksgiving travel across the region. Drivers along I-4 and the Beachline should plan for slower speeds where the haze thickens over lakes and open fields.
According to the National Weather Service Melbourne office, patchy fog lingers through the early morning before skies turn sunny and warm. Conditions improve quickly, but brief dense pockets may form near wetlands and shaded residential areas. Travelers heading to Orlando International Airport should give themselves extra time to navigate reduced visibility at busy intersections and parking corridors.
According to NWS meteorologists, Tuesday follows a similar pattern. Fog forms again before sunrise, especially north of downtown and stretching toward Seminole and Volusia counties. Light northeast winds keep the moist air trapped near the surface, slowing improvement during the first commuting hour. To be fair, the risk of widespread delays remains low, but models hint at enough early haze to affect morning school traffic and early holiday departures.
Wednesday brings another mild day with patchy fog early and highs near the lower 80s. Sunshine dominates most of the afternoon, offering ideal conditions for outdoor decorating, errands, and pre-holiday gatherings. While northern states look for Winter Tease events, Central Florida stays firmly in a warm late-November pattern.
This weekend stays mostly sunny and seasonably warm, making it a favorable stretch for final Thanksgiving preparations, local travel, and outdoor events across the metro.
