Here is your forecast for Monday, February 23rd, 2026.
Winter is back! Be sure to layer up in the morning, as sub-freezing wind chills greet anyone heading out before 9am.
A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for ALL of SWFL with Freeze Warnings inland. Both alerts are in effect between 3am to 9am. Temperatures in the morning will be in the 30s but with the wind, it will feel more like the 20s and low 30s.
We will see more sunshine in the afternoon with highs in the mid 60s. Winds will become light and westerly between 5-10 mph.
Though winds will be lighter, there will still be a high risk for wildfires to spread quickly, as severe and extreme drought conditions worsen. We are closely monitoring the "National Fire" in central Collier county, which is spreading tonight.
Our next chance for scattered showers and storms arrives on Saturday.
Temperatures will warm into the mid 70s on Wednesday, and by Thursday, they return to the low 80s.
