The weather will generally be fair to partly cloudy, with a chance of convective cloud formation — especially in the eastern and southern regions — associated with rainfall. It will be humid by night and Monday morning over some western areas. Winds will shift from light to moderate, blowing from the southeast to northeast. They may become fresh to strong at times, especially around cloud activity, leading to blowing dust and sand, which may cause horizontal visibility.
