A combination of high pressure, dry air, and Saharan dust will limit rainfall over the next few days.

Saharan dust will continue to sit overhead, limiting rainfall.

However, any storms that forms inland during the late afternoon/evening, could be on the stronger side.

By Thursday, rain chances start to increase as an upper-level system approaches the peninsula.
