WEATHER (6:00 AM, August 5): Tropical wave to produce increased cloudiness, scattered showers during the morning

A tropical wave is expected to result in an increase in cloudiness and scattered showers across the area during the morning. A relative reduction in shower activity can be expected by afternoon. However, moisture ahead of an approaching tropical wave together with the presence of a trough system can be expected to begin affecting the area by late tonight into tomorrow morning. People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to exercise caution.

Dust haze is expected to linger over the area during the next 24 hours. People with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours, with waves peaking to 8.0ft in eastern coastal waters.
