Foggy mornings and warmer-than-usual days are the latest trend in Orlando's weather scene, according to the National Weather Service Melbourne FL. Visibility will be compromised with locally dense fog, reducing it to less than a mile in parts of East Central Florida. The National Weather Service advises caution on the roads, specifically warning that the fog could be dense enough to cut down visibility to a quarter mile or less in counties like Osceola, Okeechobee, and Brevard. The Area Forecast Discussion notes that this fog is expected to dissipate by 9 AM.
Looking ahead to the weekend, a weak front is slated to bring a chance of showers on Sunday, but despite this, the forecast indicates we're in for continued dry and warm conditions leading into mid-week. Even with another front looming on Thanksgiving Day, meteorologists remain uncertain about its impact. There is uncertainty about how much, if rain will accompany the front, and when cooler temperatures settle in, says the statement from the National Weather Service.
For those with their sights set seaward, the marine forecast is looking mostly favorable for boating. A high-pressure system hanging over Florida today means conditions are ripe for setting sail. That being said, winds over the Atlantic will be fairly inconsistent, thanks to a mix of sea breezes and the comings and goings of various fronts. By and large, winds are expected to stay within the range of 5-15 knots, and seas are predicted to be relatively calm at 1-3 feet until they build to 2-4 feet later in the week.
Aviators should note that dense morning fog will likely cause IFR/MVFR conditions, with potential for LIFR conditions in certain sectors. Through the early hours of the morning, this fog could continue to impact flight schedules. According to the National Weather Service, any fog should lift and diminish by 14Z, with VFR conditions then forecast through the remainder of the day and into the evening. However, forecasters also note that fog will likely reform after midnight, signaling the possibility of another round of visibility issues for early-morning flights.
