usually leaf flagging in early morning with low temps is a sign of major problems. Disease or something very bad is going on. Check your plant very closely for signs of what it might be including bugs. Bacteria can do this too and kill your plant fast.

Let's not be too hasty. If it is Bacterial Wilt the plant will soon have a major meltdown & nothing can be done to stop it.

But....

What is the soil moisture like?

Did you fertilize recently with a heavy hand?

Bacerial wilt is the "kiss of death"! Been there...done that. I pray that this is not happening to you. That said, the wilting leaves usually start at the tip and work their way toward the stump over a five day period.
Tremor is pointing out that too much nitrogen can cause the leaves to "flag".....temporarily.
