Florida – Fog settles across
early Tuesday, creating low visibility across major routes as residents begin pre-holiday travel. The mist clings to low-lying areas, hills, and wooded corridors, slowing traffic during one of the region’s busiest weeks. With Thanksgiving travel picking up, drivers are encouraged to stay alert on I-10, Capital Circle, and local neighbourhood roads where conditions may change rapidly.
The National Weather Service notes that calmer winds will allow pockets of fog to linger longer than usual. According to the National Weather Service Tallahassee office, visibility may drop near ponds, rivers, and shaded suburban stretches before improving mid-morning. Those heading to Tallahassee International Airport should also prepare for reduced visibility during early-morning check-ins.
Fog Conditions Continuing Through Early Tuesday
Forecasters explain that Tuesday morning will bring a repeat of early fog formation, with visibility concerns most notable north and east of the city. Meteorologists expect slow improvement as sunlight increases, but some dense patches may persist longer than usual. This creates the potential for slower morning commutes and minor delays on rural connectors leading into Tallahassee.

Experts indicate that this trend is likely to continue, offering no early hints of winter for North Florida. Cooler nighttime temperatures later in the week may, however, increase the potential for more widespread morning fog.
Impact on Holiday Travelers
