Discussion
A strong high pressure system to the south continues to hold breezy weather for the territory. Latest satellite data shows low cumulus clouds flowing with the wind, which indicates possible showers embedded within the trade wind flow. Expect this pattern to continue through the forecast period as the high pressure system moves eastward.
Model guidance depicts scattered showers with southeast winds around 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts through Monday. As the high pressure center passes southeast of the territory Monday afternoon, winds will likely turn east and remain from the east through midweek. By Thursday, the high is expected to recede from the area, thus weakening winds to 10 to 15 mph and shifting it southeast once again. A gentle breeze is expected to remain through Saturday before another strong high pressure system builds in the area for the next forecast period.
Marine
Latest wave heights observed at the PacIOOS buoys are around 9 to 12 feet. A prolonged wind event maintains elevated seas and surf for the territory and is expected to continue through midweek. A High Surf Advisory and Small Craft Advisory remains in effect.
