Florida wakes up to a rare winter-like morning feel across the Panhandle. Streetlights glow through patchy fog, breath looks faintly visible, and temperatures hover in the upper 30s around Tallahassee.
According to the National Weather Service, early fog may reduce visibility through mid-morning. Drivers should slow down on Capital Circle, U.S. 27, and I-10 where visibility drops quickly. Conditions gradually improve as clouds lift later today.
Highs rebound to around 67 this afternoon, but sunshine remains limited. Winds stay calm, keeping conditions quiet once fog clears. This window offers the best time to run errands or prepare for changing weather ahead.
Tonight turns mostly cloudy with lows near 54. Roads remain dry, but humidity increases ahead of incoming rain.
Thursday brings the most active weather of the week. Showers develop by afternoon, with a few thunderstorms possible into the evening. Rainfall could be locally heavy at times, making roads slick during peak travel. Keep umbrellas ready and allow extra time if commuting late day.
Thursday night stays unsettled. Showers linger, and temperatures settle near 55. Wet pavement may remain an issue for early Friday drivers.
Friday delivers welcome improvement. Clouds thin, sunshine returns, and highs reach near 65. Cooler air follows Friday night, with lows dropping close to 39. While no freeze is expected, the cooler night signals a seasonal shift.
Saturday and Sunday look ideal for outdoor plans. Sunshine dominates, highs climb into the upper 60s and low 70s, and nights remain cool but comfortable.

North Florida travel appears favorable heading into the holiday weekend. Watch for foggy mornings and rain Thursday, then expect smoother conditions and cooler nights.
