Dense fog will form again overnight, hours after temperatures in Orlando tied a 120-year-old record high.
Orlando's high reached 86 degrees Monday, tying the record set on Feb. 3, 1894.
Daytona Beach and Melbourne fell short of setting records Monday, topping at 84 degrees. Daytona Beach's record of 86 for Feb. 3 was set in 1990, and Melbourne's record of 88 was set in 1985.
Partly cloudy skies and warmer than normal conditions will continue Monday night. Light winds overnight, along with high humidity levels, will allow for another round of patchy, dense fog. Expect low temperatures in the middle to lower 60s for most, and in the upper 60s in Brevard County.
A dense fog advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Tuesday for Marion, Polk and Sumter counties. The National Weather Service said the fog will spread eastward into western sections of Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties by midnight. Motorists in these locations should expect reduced visibility through the Tuesday morning rush hour commute.
Tuesday, a similar weather pattern remains in place as the front to our north continues to make very slow progress toward the area. Once again, high humidity levels and higher-than-normal moisture allows isolated shower development into the afternoon. Daytime highs will reach the lower to mid-80s on Tuesday, and we may see some high temperature records fall again.
The next cold front will arrive late Wednesday and Thursday, allowing for a brief period of cooler weather by the end of the week. A few showers and considerable cloudiness are expected with the frontal passage. The front stalls just to our south, keeping gloomy conditions in place through the end of the week.
Only slightly cooler air returns to Central Florida on Thursday, with temperatures climbing back above-normal for Friday and into the weekend.
