Discussion
Latest satellite data depicts fair weather across the region as the ridge mentioned in yesterday's discussion continues to dominate our area. However, as the Samoa Island chain remains along the back end of the ridge, we will continue to experience a slight drop in winds (from 15 to 25 mph seen yesterday to 10 to 20 mph seen today) through Sunday. Meanwhile, another high pressure system building near New Zealand is expected to strengthen as it moves east.
The transition between the latter high pressure and current ridge will bring east winds of 10 to 20 mph and isolated to scattered showers through Sunday. As the latter high pressure system extends over the territory on Monday, expect winds to shift southeast. Converging east and southeast winds may lead to an uptick in showers Monday and Monday night. When the new high pressure system fully takes over on Tuesday, a breezy southeast wind pattern will persist through the end of the new week.
