Florida – Soft fog hugged open fields and tree lines this morning, briefly blurring headlights as mild December air settled across North Florida. The scene felt calm, almost springlike, setting up a quiet stretch as holiday travel ramps up.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, patchy fog develops during the early morning hours through midweek, mainly before midmorning. Once the fog lifts, sunshine dominates with highs climbing into the mid to upper 70s through Christmas Day and beyond.
Across Tallahassee, Thomasville, Quincy, and along U.S. 27 and I-10, drivers may encounter brief visibility reductions near sunrise. Conditions improve quickly after daylight, leaving dry pavement and light winds. Airports could see minor early delays tied to fog, but widespread disruptions are not expected.
To be fair, winter hazards remain far from the region. Overnight lows settle into the mid-50s, cool enough for light fog but nowhere near frost or freeze levels. The absence of rain keeps travel impacts low during one of the busiest weeks of the year.
Christmas Day stays bright and warm with highs near 76 degrees. Families traveling home or heading out late in the week should see similar conditions. By Friday, sunshine continues with highs near 77, supporting smooth post-Christmas travel across North Florida.
Meteorologists note this warmth fits a broader national pattern, with much of the Southeast avoiding winter extremes while colder air stays locked farther north. For now, no cold snap or storm system threatens local travel.
Plan ahead if leaving early. Watch for fog before sunrise, then expect clear skies and easy driving. Traveling Friday or Christmas morning? Let us know how visibility looks where you are.
