ORLANDO, Fla. – Wednesday morning’s fog event has been most noticeable along the coast, with some spots seeing visibility drop to just a quarter mile.
A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Brevard, Orange, Seminole and coastal Volusia, Marion and Sumter counties.
If you’re driving, be ready for reduced visibility in some areas. Make sure to slow down, use low beam headlights, and keep a safe distance from other vehicles. Conditions should improve later Wednesday morning, though some cloud cover along the coast could stick around through the afternoon.
A weak high pressure system will keep things dry for Wednesday with highs rising into the low to mid 80s.
Overnight, southerly winds will remain light, and fog could develop again across east central Florida. There’s a 40-60% chance of visibility dropping below a mile south of Orlando, but we’ll keep an eye on it and adjust as needed. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 60s.
