Fall Cold Front, Still Dry
Panama City Fla. (WMBB) – Dry weather is a concern even if it brings us just beautiful weather this week. To start off the week we have a dry air mass in place this will allow for daytime highs to be warm in the upper 80s but lows will fall to the mid to low 60s thanks to the dry air as well. It really is very nice conditions overall for the weather this week. Friday a cold front will work in and through overnight. Friday will be warm and we could hopefully squeeze out a shower. The dry air ahead of the front will likely mean the front will be dry. After the front moves through early Saturday morning, temps will only climb to the mid-70s for daytime highs Saturday to Monday of next. Lows could even fall to the 40s for some in the northern half of the area Saturday night or Sunday night. This will be the coolest air of the fall season so far.
