Orlando, FL – A thick layer of fog blankets Central Florida this morning, dimming headlights and softening the glow of traffic lights along I-4 and Florida’s Turnpike. The air feels damp and still, with visibility in some areas falling below a half-mile — a classic late-November scene as cooler inland air meets warm coastal humidity.
The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a Special Weather Statement for patchy dense fog stretching across Orange, Osceola, Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties. Drivers are urged to reduce speed, use low beams, and maintain extra distance between vehicles until fog lifts mid-morning.
Once the haze burns off, Florida’s familiar warmth returns. Sunshine will dominate through Monday with highs in the low-80s, making it ideal for early holiday plans, outdoor events, or prepping for Thanksgiving travel later this week.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, humidity rises slightly with a few coastal sprinkles possible, but no major weather disruptions are expected before Thanksgiving Day. While much of the U.S. braces for a significant cold front late next week, Florida stays warm and mostly calm — perfect for travelers escaping northern chill.
Five-Day Outlook (Orlando, FL):
- Today: Dense fog early, then sunny. High 83°F.
- Sunday: Patchy fog, then mostly sunny. High 82°F.
- Monday: Sunny, high 82°F.
