Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Sunday, February 8th, 2026

• Behind yesterday’s dry cold front, a chilly start this morning across much of the state.
• Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories across Northeast Florida and the Suwannee Valley will expire mid-morning as conditions warm up.
• Another day filled with plenty of sunshine can be expected across the state as high pressure conditions dominate.
• While lighter winds will return today, relative humidity values for much of the state will fall back near or into critical thresholds (20-35%) this afternoon.
• This will continue to keep the elevated wildfire conditions in place today, especially with the expanding and worsening drought from the winter season.
• Ongoing smoke from the Buggy Fire in South Florida may create reduced visibilities and hazy conditions across the region throughout the day.
• High temperatures will reach the 60s to middle 70s across the state this afternoon leading to a pleasant day.
•  Cool and calm conditions can be expected overnight across the state.
• Low-level moisture beginning to return across the state will lead to instances of fog developing late overnight and into the early morning hours on Monday.
• With ongoing wildfires, fog development combined with wildfire smoke may lead to a further reduction of visibilities Monday morning.
• Low temperatures overnight will fall into the upper 30s to middle 40s across North Florida, middle to upper 40s across Central Florida and 50s across South Florida.
• Onshore winds and ocean swells of 4-7' will keep a moderate to high risk for rip currents in place along the Florida East Coast.
• Calmer conditions will return to the Gulf Coast, but a moderate risk is still in place for numerous beaches with a locally high risk in Southwest Florida.
