TALLAHASSEE, FL — The morning begins under a dense, milky fog that clings to the hills and pine stands around the capital. Headlights slice through visibility of barely a mile in spots, and drivers along I-10 and U.S. 319 should plan extra time on their morning routes. The haze lifts by midmorning, revealing another bright, unseasonably warm day — the kind more typical of late September than early November.
The National Weather Service in Tallahassee expects today’s highs to climb to around 81°F, with calm winds and abundant sunshine once the fog burns off. Those planning outdoor activities or travel later this morning should see improving visibility and dry roads through midday.
Friday brings another warm and mostly sunny stretch, but subtle changes begin to form in the atmosphere. Moisture increases from the Gulf, setting the stage for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms by late Friday night into Saturday. While severe weather isn’t expected, brief downpours and lightning could interrupt early weekend plans, especially west of the city and across the Apalachicola National Forest.
By Sunday, drier and slightly cooler air filters in from the northwest, dropping highs into the low 80s with lower humidity. Skies clear by Monday, setting up a crisp and sunny start to Veterans Day Tuesday, with highs near 70°F and lows dipping into the 40s.
It’s a classic November transition week — fog to heat to a few late-week storms — reminding residents that cooler, more seasonal air isn’t far behind.
