However, daytime heating and pockets of moisture being transported across the region by light winds, could trigger a few showers. A slack pressure gradient will account for light and variable winds. Seas will remain slight through the next 24 hours; however by late Tuesday into Wednesday, swells are expected to increase due to the proximity of a newly developed tropical storm.
