WEATHER (6:00 AM, Nov 9): Small craft advisory remains in effect, lingering moisture behind tropical wave with pockets of cloudiness

Lingering moisture behind a tropical wave, combined with some upper-level instability, will move away from the area this morning, maintaining pockets of cloudiness. A ridge pattern is building across the region and will gradually reduce moisture levels during the day. Expect partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy skies with a few passing showers. Meanwhile, a surface to low-level trough is expected to move across the area overnight, leading to an increase in shower activity late tonight into Monday morning. Breezy conditions will persist throughout the period.

Low concentrations of Saharan dust are expected across the area. Individuals with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions.

Seas will remain moderate through Tuesday, with wave heights up to 5 ft on the west coast and up to 8 ft in open water on the east coast. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for above-normal seas and strong winds in open water, mainly on the eastern side. Sea-bathers and small craft operators should continue to exercise extreme caution.
