A dry nose in and of itself is not a health concern in a cat as moisture on the nose can normally vary. It may get more dry due to weather, lying in the sun, changes in air circulation in the house, etc. if the skin appears normal/no scabbing or nasal discharge then I would just monitor for any changes.
