In its weather bulletin issued early today, the NCM attributed the unsettled conditions to an extension of a weak surface low-pressure system, accompanied by an upper-air low-pressure system.
The centre said winds would be light to moderate, becoming fresh to strong at times and causing blowing dust, particularly in exposed areas.
North-westerly winds could reach 50km/h along coastal areas and islands, while winds in inland and mountainous regions could reach 40km/h.
The Arabian Gulf was forecast to be rough to very rough at times, while the Oman Sea would be slight to moderate, becoming rough by early Thursday.
More rain forecast on Thursday
The latest reports indicate that the unsettled spell could continue into Thursday, with the NCM forecasting further showers, a slight drop in temperatures and winds reaching 55km/h.
