Foggy times are here again, with the National Weather Service in Melbourne issuing a Dense Fog Advisory until 10 AM EST this morning across all east-central Florida counties. Travelers hitting the road early might face a quarter mile or less visibility. The fog is expected to hang tight each night through the end of the week, with the potential for worsened conditions in the evenings.
The forecast discussion from the National Weather Service highlighted the "areas of dense fog" expected to grow and linger over the region overnight and early morning. Floridians should get comfortable with the blanket of mist as it continues its embrace through mid to late week. With the light winds and clear skies expected later today, the setting for fog couldn't be more perfect, doing us a favor by keeping afternoon temperatures warm - "upper 70s to mid 80s" warm.
Nighttime will bring the sea fog to life, first flirting with visibility along the Barrier Islands before waltzing ashore. Launched by the local waters, this fog will continue the dance inland as we head toward lower temps in the overnight hours. For mariners, the party's at sea, too, with advisories in play until 10 AM EST for visibility woes in Volusia and nearshore Brevard waters, as stated by the same forecast discussion.
Weather-wise, persistence is the word of the week, with a high-pressure system settling down and giving us dry days ahead. As per the National Weather Service, we're looking at high temps riding high with the "upper 70s to mid 80s," and rain chances sticking their heads out at less than "20%" until perhaps next Monday. Navigating the forecast through the sea of uncertainties, we're in for smooth sailing, weather-wise, and ready for more foggy adventures as the week unfolds.
