    PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - It was a nice start to the day with temps in the 50s/60s, but the humidity rapidly increased as highs climbed into the 80s. We saw a few spotty showers, but they were pretty few and far between. Tonight: Skies will be mostly cloudy and it will be much warmer with lows in the 60s inland and near 70 at the coast. We will see showers and storms move into the western panhandle before daybreak on Wednesday AM and then fizzle as they move east.
