DISCUSSION

The latest satellite imageries continue to show low to mid=level clouds moving across the islands throughout the day. This occurrence will likely remain for the rest of the weekend through the new week. Expect breezy east-southeast winds with embedded showers to remain for tonight through at least midweek.

Models are showing the trough to the north of the area, moving closer and over the territory by at least Wednesday night through the end of the new week. This will increase the potential for flash flooding conditions over the islands.

There is a low probability for any tropical system to develop or move within the area of responsibility (AOR) for the next 7 days.

Marine

Breezy and choppy conditions for the southeast to east facing shores will remain for the rest of the day. Due to the consistent sustained east-southeast winds expected for this forecast period, ocean conditions will likely remain unfavorable for any recreational or commercial purposes. These are supported by the data from the PacIOOS buoy near Aunu'u, showing elevated and choppy seas in the east. Hence, prompting the extension of the high surf advisory through the new week. The threat of hazardous seas, enhanced surfs, and dangerous rip currents remain for this forecast period. The high surf advisory and small craft advisory continues to remain in effect.
