Florida Panhandle Braces for Foggy and Rainy Friday, But Sunshine Returns to Kick Off February!

Florida Panhandle Braces for Foggy and Rainy Friday, But Sunshine Returns to Kick Off February!

Today’s Weather: Fog, rain, and a bit of chaos to close out January — but don’t worry, sunshine is on the way! This morning kicks off with dense fog across much of the Florida Panhandle, reducing visibility and making that morning commute a little trickier. As the day progresses, expect scattered showers, a few thunderstorms, and gusty winds as a cold front moves through.

  • Temperatures: Highs will be in the low to mid-70s°F (22-24°C). It’ll feel warm and humid before the front clears out later tonight.

What to Watch For Today:

  • Dense morning fog: Visibility could be less than a quarter mile in some areas, so drive carefully and use your low beams.
  • Afternoon showers: Rain will be off and on, with some areas experiencing heavier downpours or a thunderstorm.
  • Gusty winds: Hold onto your hats — winds may pick up during the day, especially near any storms.

Your Weekend Outlook:

Saturday, February 1:

  • Clearer skies ahead! Once the front passes, expect a lovely Saturday with sun peeking through high clouds. Highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s°F, and cooler evening temps will drop into the mid-40s°F.

Sunday, February 2:

  • The weekend wraps up on a high note. Bright, sunny skies and warm temperatures will make for perfect outdoor weather. Highs will reach the low to mid-70s°F, and the night will be cool with lows in the mid-40s°F.

What You Should Know:

  • Be cautious today: Morning fog and afternoon rain could make travel a bit tricky, so give yourself extra time.
  • Enjoy the weekend: After today’s dreary start, Saturday and Sunday will be ideal for hiking, picnics, or just soaking up the sun.
  • Layer up for cool nights: It may be warm during the day, but those evening temperatures will drop quickly once the sun goes down.

So, hang tight through the fog and showers today, and get ready to enjoy a sunny and refreshing start to February. Stay safe, and have a great weekend, Panhandle! 🌞
