Florida Weather 3/8 Morning - Special Weather Statement

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside early and you mightn't see your car. Dense fog is smothering Orange and Osceola counties this morning, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile. The advisory runs until 10 A.M. Jacksonville's got patchy fog developing too. Low beams, slow speeds. And give yourself extra space. Once that fog burns off? We're cooking. Highs today push mid 80s at the coast, upper 80s inland. Orlando flirts with 86 degrees — just 53 degrees shy of the 1935 record of 90. North Florida hits 85. Miami and Fort Lauderdale sit pretty at 82. Here's where it gets interesting. This afternoon, the Gulf sea breeze crashes head-on with the Atlantic sea breeze right across the interior. That collision sparks scattered thunderstorms from 2 P.M. Through early evening. Central and North Florida see the highest chances — about 50 percent along I-Ninety-Five and US-17. These storms pack a punch: gusty winds up to 50 miles an hour and brief heavy downpours. South Florida stays quieter with just a 20 percent shot. Tonight, storms fade by midnight. Patchy fog redevelops as winds calm. Lows settle mid to upper 60s statewide. Looking ahead, high pressure keeps us warm and mostly dry through Wednesday. Highs stay mid to upper 80s inland, low 80s at the coast. Monday brings another round of afternoon storms. Thursday's the shift — a cold front slides through with scattered showers and storms, then slightly cooler but still near-normal temperatures return by Friday. Drive carefully in that early fog. And keep an eye on the sky this afternoon. See you this afternoon.
