Latest satellite data shows a line of moisture and thunderstorms
extending northwest to southeast of the area, while a break or dry
patch is seen over the territory; this line is associated with a
trough. A high pressure system building to the south will further
weaken the trough through Tuesday. Expect passing showers as winds
shift from southeast to east during this time. Furthermore, as the
aforementioned high pressure strengthens Tuesday through Wednesday,
winds are forecast to peak (East Winds of 15 to 25 mph).
However, by July 4th winds will gradually diminish as the high
pressure moves east.

The potential for flooding through Thursday is low at this time.
However, a trough developing over the territory Friday night to
Saturday may bring an uptick in showers. Meanwhile, winds will
decrease near 10 mph for this duration. By Sunday, another high
pressure will build from the southwest. This pattern will bring
another round of trade winds for the new week.

Latest observations at the Aunu`u PacIOOS buoy are around 8 to 10
feet due to trade winds. As the week progresses, wave heights will
build to 9 to 12 feet Tuesday night and remain through Wednesday
due to winds. However, as winds gradually weaken by Independence
Day, expect waves to subside through the end of the week.
