UPDATE
Issued at 622 PM EST Tue Feb 10 2026

As the sun sets, mostly clear skies and light winds will again favor efficient radiational cooling overnight.

The steady temperature drop will favor a small T/Td spread across the interior and SWFL early tomorrow morning. Some shallow ground fog will be possible in response to the increasing humidity.

Overall the forecast looks on track. No changes are needed at this time.
