The trough that finally brought showers over the islands early
this morning continues to shift westward and away from the area.
WFO American Samoa observed 0.37 inches of rainfall since
midnight, bringing much needed moisture to the land and crops.
However, the rainfall was short-lived as a high pressure system
near New Zealand continues to weaken the trough. Expect scattered
showers tonight with breezy east to southeast winds of 15 to 25
mph lasting through Thursday night.

By Friday, the aforementioned high pressure is expected to exit
the region. Meanwhile, another high pressure system building
behind it will maintain breezy winds and scattered showers into
the new week.

A High Surf Advisory and Small Craft Advisory remain in effect as
winds continue near 20 knots and another south swell moves into
coastal waters Thursday. Although wave heights subsided to near 6
feet early this morning as winds fell below 15 knots, current
wave observations show seas building once again as winds increase
tonight. Expect large surf, strong rip currents, and choppy ocean
conditions to persist through the end of the week.
