Monday Evening Forecast

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Happy Independence Day!

Tonight’s Fireworks forecast is improving with the radar clearing out significantly for the evening’s festivities. Despite mostly dry conditions, partly to mostly cloudy skies will linger through midnight which will help to trap in some heat. By 9 pm it’ll be around 80 degrees on the thermometer but we’ll likely still feel like nearly 90 when the main shows are underway.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, temperatures will fall to the mid 70′s across the Panhandle overnight and skies will remain partly cloudy by the morning hours. The day will start off with another round of coastal showers and storms in the late morning and midday hours. By the afternoon, the sea breeze will push the main storm activity north of the bays with the total chance you see rain tomorrow at about 60%. Temperatures will climb to near 90 degrees once again Tuesday.

Looking ahead to Wednesday through the remainder of the week, high pressure intensifies in the upper levels of our atmosphere which will create drier and warmer conditions across Northwest Florida. Rain chances will fall to around 30% with shower and thunderstorm activity suppressed, and temperatures will climb into the 90′s throughout the area.
