As a ridge to the southeast continues to move farther east, this
will allow a trough just north of the Samoa Islands to move closer
to the islands over the weekend. Expect numerous showers tonight
through Saturday due to extended moisture from the trough.
Additionally, winds are forecast to remain around 10 to 15 mph
from the east-southeast. Thereafter, trade winds will return as
another high pressure system builds from the southwest. This
will result in breezy weather Sunday through the rest of the
week, pushing the trough northward.

Calmer seas are being observed at the PacIOOS buoys with wave
heights ranging from 4 to 6 feet due to a gentle breeze. Expect
these conditions to continue through Saturday night before
building Sunday when trade winds are forecast to return. Choppy
seas will persist through the upcoming week.
