The report also highlights the potential for misty to foggy conditions in certain areas by late night.
According to Qatar News Agency, offshore conditions will mirror those onshore, with scattered clouds transitioning to partly cloudy skies and the likelihood of light rain. The transition to misty and foggy conditions is expected later, with a similar advisory about reduced visibility.
The wind inshore is anticipated to be northeasterly to easterly at speeds ranging from 5 to 15 knots, becoming variable at less than 3 knots by night. Offshore winds will primarily be northeasterly at speeds of 5 to 15 knots, shifting to variable directions later. The sea state inshore is expected to be between 1 to 3 feet, while offshore it will measure between 2 to 4 feet.
Visibility challenges are forecasted, with inshore visibility dropping to as low as 2 kilometers or less in certain areas by late night. Offshore visibility is expected to decrease to 1 kilometer or less later in the night.
