If you're waking up in North Florida or the Big Bend, you're literally in the clouds right now. That dense fog advisory is the main event this morning, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less in spots. You'll want to give yourself plenty of extra time if you're commuting before 10 A.M., when that sun finally burns it off.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That 77 degrees on your thermometer right now? it's just the opening act. Strong high pressure parked off New England is wedging cool, moist Atlantic air down the coast. That sets up a classic Florida split today. Coastal areas deal with fog while inland spots surge toward the 80s.

In the next 24 hours. North Florida, you're getting the brunt of it. Northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour will make that 72-degree high feel brisk. But the real story comes tonight. Widespread dense fog rolls in along the I-Ninety-Five corridor. If you're driving near Jacksonville or Fernandina Beach after sunset, visibility could drop fast.

Central Florida wakes up to patchy fog tomorrow morning. Today you hit 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies. You might see a passing shower after 2 P.M., but most of you stay dry.

Tampa Bay, you've got the warmest spot in the state. High of 84 degrees today. Mostly sunny and pleasant with light east winds.

Down in South Florida, expect 78 degrees with a slight chance of coastal showers between 2 and 5 P.M. East winds gusting to 21 miles an hour will make it breezy. A high rip current risk continues at all Atlantic beaches through Wednesday evening. If you're heading to the water, swim near a lifeguard.

Tonight brings a full moon. Look up after sunset and you'll see it shining through partly cloudy skies.

Here's the week ahead. That warming trend continues. By Thursday and Friday, inland areas could flirt with record highs in the mid to upper 80s. Shower chances tick up Thursday through Saturday as moisture increases. But the pattern stays pleasant overall. Just keep an eye on those rip currents if you're beach-bound.

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly.

So picture this. A big high pressure system parked off New England is shoving cool air down the coast like a bouncer clearing a hallway. That's why North Florida woke up socked in fog this morning while the rest of the state is soaking up sunshine. Two completely different vibes separated by about 200 miles of I-75.

In the next 24 hours. Up north, that dense fog hangs around through midday along the coast. Highs only reach 73 degrees with northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour. That wind has some teeth to it. Tonight the fog creeps inland and lows settle near 59.

Now slide down to Central Florida. This is the winner today. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. Just a whisper of a shower chance this afternoon. Lows tonight ease to 64. Pretty close to perfect.

Tampa Bay, your patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M. and then it's full sunshine all the way to 84 degrees. That's the kind of afternoon where your car steering wheel reminds you summer's not far off. Tonight, partly cloudy, low around 65.

South Florida, mostly sunny with a high of 78. A quick shower could pop near midday. East winds stay breezy, gusting to 20 miles an hour. Lows hold at a balmy 73.

Quick safety note. Atlantic beaches from Palm Beach south have dangerous rip currents through Wednesday. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions.

Looking ahead, things get spicy. A warming trend builds through the week with record highs possible by Thursday. We're talking mid to upper 80s inland. Moisture creeps in midweek bringing better shower chances. And tonight. Step outside after dark. Full moon, mainly clear skies across most of the state. Your phone camera won't do it justice, but try anyway.

I'll be tracking those potential records all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Walk outside right now and the air hits you like a warm blanket. Seventy six degrees already. That sticky, tropical humidity clinging to your skin. You can thank a high pressure system parked off New England for this. It's pushing a steady onshore flow across the entire state, pumping warm, moist air straight at us.

In the next 24 hours. That flow is the whole story today. It's why fog is hugging the northeast coast. It's why your beach towel feels damp before you even spread it out. And it's why temperatures keep climbing all week. Possibly into record territory by Thursday.

Up in North Florida, that fog is stubborn. It lingers through the afternoon with northeast gusts hitting 24 miles an hour. Highs reach 73 degrees. Tonight the fog creeps inland as you drop to 59 degrees. Keep those headlights on.

Slide down to Central Florida and the picture brightens. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. A stray shower is possible before 4 P.M., but nothing worth canceling plans over. Tonight settles into the mid 60s.

Tampa Bay? You drew the winning ticket. Patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M., then pure sunshine pushes you to 84 degrees. That's February in denial.

South Florida sees 78 degrees with east winds gusting to 20 miles an hour. A quick shower could sneak in around lunch. Overnight lows barely budge from 73 degrees. Your AC is earning its keep tonight.

Quick safety note. High rip current risk along every Atlantic beach through Wednesday evening. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions.

Looking ahead, temperatures just keep climbing. Mid to upper 80s by Thursday and Friday inland. That flirts with records. Afternoon pop up showers build midweek, but nothing organized. Just Florida doing its thing.

Oh. And tonight's full moon rises right at sunset. Spring equinox is 17 days out. We're gaining two minutes of daylight every single day now.

I'll be tracking those near record highs all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
