Increased moisture and instability associated with a low-level trough will continue to affect the area over the next 12 to 24 hours. As a result, mostly cloudy skies and periods of scattered showers are expected tonight, with some showers becoming moderate at times. Breezy conditions will also persist.
Slightly hazy conditions are expected to continue over the next few days, with dust concentrations forecast to increase from Wednesday. Persons with respiratory conditions are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.
Sea conditions are forecast to remain moderate over the next 24 to 48 hours, with wave heights reaching around 5 feet along the western coast and up to 8 feet along the eastern coast. Small craft operators and sea-bathers are advised to monitor conditions and exercise caution.
Meanwhile, two tropical waves are being monitored in the Atlantic basin. The first is expected to move across the extreme southern islands tonight into tomorrow, while the second remains in the eastern tropical Atlantic.
