As a tropical wave gradually dissipates this morning, lingering moisture and upper-level instability will continue to influence the region, resulting in partly to occasionally cloudy skies with sporadic passing showers. A ridge pattern is developing across the area, which will help reduce moisture levels throughout the day. However, a surface to low-level trough is anticipated to move in overnight, intensifying shower activity from late tonight into Monday morning. Breezy conditions are expected to persist during this period. Additionally, low concentrations of Saharan dust are present in the area, prompting individuals with respiratory sensitivities to take necessary precautions. Marine conditions remain moderate through Tuesday, with wave heights reaching up to 5 feet on the west coast and 8 feet in open waters on the east coast. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for above-normal seas and strong winds, particularly on the eastern side. Sea-bathers and small craft operators are urged to exercise extreme caution.
