Fair weather continues across the territory as a high pressure
system remains to the south. This feature is expected to dominate
the weather pattern throughout the week, maintaining breezy
southeast trade winds across the area. A weak trough to the east
is forecast to move over the islands by Tuesday morning, bringing
a slight uptick in showers through midweek. However, showers are
expected to remain brief and passing.

As the trough diminishes in the area Thursday, breezy southeasterly
winds and isolated to scattered showers will prevail through the
weekend.

Breezy winds and a strong south swell will continue to build wave
heights through midweek. Wave heights currently observed at the
PacIOOS buoys are around 7 to 9 feet with peak periods around 16
seconds and are expected to peak on Wednesday before gradually
subsiding as the southerly swell diminishes. Although wave
heights are forecast to subside thereafter, breezy trades will
maintain choppy conditions for the remainder of the week.
