By Friday night through the weekend, the aforementioned trough is forecast to move away from American Samoa. Winds are to eventually become easterly around 10 to 15 mph with only the risk of passing showers. There is no severe weather projected for the weekend.

Also, there is no risk of tropical development near American Samoa for the next 7 days.

East/southeasterly winds increased throughout the day today to become a moderate to fresh breeze. Seas have become choppy and the PacIOOS buoy to the east of Aunu'u shows sea heights around 7 feet as of early this afternoon. Winds are to reach fresh breeze later tonight and into the overnight hours, which is projected to continue building seas during this time. Therefore, a Small Craft Advisory is now in effect for the American Samoa coastal waters through at least early Wednesday.

Winds are forecast to decrease and to become a gentle north/northeasterly breeze by Thursday and Friday as a trough moves over the region. However, a southerly swell is expected to impact the coastal waters region throughout this time. Since wind driven waves will be minimized, seas are not expected to be choppy, but surf along the southern and western coastlines are anticipated to reach close to High Surf Advisory levels.

PPG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
