Long term [Christmas day through Monday]
High pressure is forecast to begin building southeast of the territory by Christmas day. This should push the aforementioned trough to the south back northward and near the territory. This pattern change is forecast to bring numerous to widespread showers over the territory late week into the weekend. Multiple models indicate weak embedded low pressure areas developing within the trough. While any low that develops is expected to be very weak and not lead to any tropical formation or gusty winds in the area, it would influence the wind direction and where heavy rainfall develops, leading to high forecast uncertainty beyond Friday at this time.
No tropical development is expected within 300 nm of American Samoa over the next 7 days.
Marine
Seas are currently observed around 6 feet at Aunu'u and Poloa buoys, but are likely to be occaisionally higher in the Pago Pago Harbor region due to gusts exceeding 20 knots at times. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for Pago Pago Harbor through tonight due to these gusty conditions. Marine conditions become favorable Tuesday through the rest of the week as winds become light across the region.
