A high-pressure system will remain dominant across the island maintaining a relatively dry atmosphere with brief showers during the morning.

Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 7.0ft. A High Surf Advisory is in effect for north-easterly swells. Small craft operators and sea bathers along the north through eastern coastline should exercise some caution.
