Tropical Cyclone Wasi brought wind and rain to Samoa  on Saturday.  At 10:00 p.m. EST on Saturday the center of Tropical Cyclone Wasi was located at latitude 16.7°S and longitude 171.3°W which put it about 140 miles (225 km) south-southwest of Pago Pago, American Samoa.  Wasi was moving toward the south-southeast at 14 m.p.h. (22 km/h).  The maximum sustained wind speed was 45 m.p.h. (75 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 60 m.p.h. (95 km/h).  The minimum surface pressure was 996 mb.

The eastern side of Tropical Cyclone Wasi brought wind and rain to parts of Samoa on Saturday.  A weather station in Pago Pago, American Samoa reported a sustained wind speed of 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h) and a wind gust of 43 m.p.h. (69 km/h).  Several inches of rain also fell on parts of Samoa.

Tropical Cyclone Wasi moved under the western side of an upper level ridge over the South Pacific Ocean.  The ridge produce strong northerly winds which blew across the top of Wasi.  Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear and Tropical Cyclone Wasi began to weaken.  Many of the taller thunderstorms dissipated.  Some storms were still occurring in a band south and east of the center of circulation.  Bands in other parts of the circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.  Winds to tropical storm force extended out 75 miles (120 km) from the center of Wasi.

Tropical Cyclone Wasi will move through an environment unfavorable for intensification.  Wasi will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28°C.  However, the upper level ridge will continue to cause strong vertical wind shear.  The shear will be strong enough to prevent significant intensification and Tropical Cyclone Wasi could continue to weaken since it has a small circulation.

Tropical Cyclone Wasi will move around the western end of a high pressure system over the South Pacific Ocean.  The high will steer Wasi toward the south.  On its anticipated track Tropical Cyclone Wasi could pass near Niue in about 18 hours.  Wasi will bring gustier winds and rain showers to Niue on Sunday.

Elsewhere over the South Pacific Ocean, Tropical Cyclone Vicky was dissipating south of Niue.  At 10:00 p.m. EST on Saturday the center of Tropical Cyclone Vicky was located at latitude 22.6°S and longitude 168.6°W which put it about 250 miles (400 km) south-southeast of Niue.  Vicky was moving toward the south at 10 m.p.h. (16 km/h).  The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (65 km/h).  The minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.
