Panama City Fla. (WMBB) – It was a warm and breezy day across the Panhandle, with red flags now flying along much of the coast due to increasing surf and afternoon chop. Winds and wave action picked up enough to shift Bay County from yellow to red flag status, so caution is advised if you’re heading to the beach. It’s Florida summer in full swing, hot, humid, and stormy at times, but still plenty of good beach hours.

Panama City Fla. (WMBB) – Conditions remain warm and comfortable across the region with partly cloudy skies and some haze, thanks to elevated wildfire smoke drifting down from Canada. This upper-atmospheric smoke isn’t a local concern for air quality, but it is contributing to vibrant sunrises and sunsets, especially when paired with incoming Saharan dust.
