Florida – A thick veil of fog settles across Tallahassee before sunrise, softening the streetlights along Monroe Street and lying low over the rolling hills of Leon County. The still, damp air creates a slow, muted start as the first wave of Thanksgiving travel ramps up across I-10 and Capital Circle. Motorists should expect reduced visibility in pockets and plan extra time through wooded corridors and low-lying neighborhoods.
According to the National Weather Service Tallahassee office, fog holds in place through the early morning before sunshine breaks out across the region. Calm winds support slower improvement, and drivers may see dense patches near rivers, ponds, and shaded stretches of suburban roads. Travelers heading toward Tallahassee International Airport should budget extra minutes for security lines and lower-visibility access roads as the haze lifts.
According to NWS meteorologists, Tuesday brings a repeat of early-morning fog, especially north and east of the city. Sunshine dominates afterward with highs near 80 degrees—an unusually warm feel for mid-November. To be fair, this warm pattern offers no “Winter Tease” for North Florida, though cooler nights later this week may create more widespread fog potential. Models hint at stable weather through Wednesday, keeping skies clear and travel conditions generally favorable once the fog clears.
Wednesday turns bright and warm with light winds and highs in the lower 80s. This provides ideal time for pre-holiday errands, outdoor prep, and early Thanksgiving gatherings. Roads stay dry, and traffic concerns remain focused mainly on morning visibility.
The weekend shifts only slightly cooler with comfortable afternoons near the upper 70s, offering excellent windows for decorating, leaf cleanup, and final travel planning.
