Long term

For next week, we are monitoring the position of the aforementioned trough. The trough is expected to weaken compared to the conditions in the short term forecast. If this trough moves back over American Samoa, however, more flooding may occur especially due to the projected saturated grounds from the rainfall forecast in the short term. Otherwise, easterly winds are projected to be around 10 to 15 knots.

Marine

Data from the PacIOOS buoy located to the east of Aunu'u shows seas beginning to ease throughout the morning hours. Conditions are now below the Small Craft Advisory levels. However, easterly winds are projected to increase to a moderate to fresh breeze by Friday morning and to continue through Saturday evening. This will cause seas to build back to Small Craft Advisory levels. A trough is projected to move over the territorial waters on Friday through the weekend. This may create strong wind gusts and thunderstorms at times. Winds are projected to decrease on Sunday to a east/northeasterly moderate breeze, but strong wind gusts near heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible.

PPG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES

A Flood Watch is now in effect.
