Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Monday, February 2nd, 2026

• Temperatures are slow to rise across the Sunshine State, despite ample sunshine! Cold Weather Advisories and Extreme Cold Warnings continue to expire through the mid-morning hours.
• While not as cold as recent days, another night of sub-freezing temperatures expected; Freeze Warnings will go into effect from the Suwannee River Valley through interior South Florida.
• Cold Weather Advisories will likely extend from the Florida Big Bend through south of Lake Okeechobee once again tonight for wind chill values in the middle 20s to middle 30s.
• The calmer wind regime tonight may promote regions of frost, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces.
• A very dry airmass and lingering breezy northwesterly winds will promote elevated wildfire conditions statewide, with relative humidity values falling at or below critical thresholds (20-35%); long-term dry soils/vegetation will yield locally higher wildfire concerns in areas that continue to see worsening drought.
• A moderate to high risk of rip currents continues for all Florida beaches today. 
• High Surf Advisories remain in effect along the Florida East Coast until Tuesday morning, with wave heights of 6-8’ expected within the surf zone from the Florida Space Coast to Treasure Coast.
