Scattered moderate convection is seen from 14N to 17N between 49W-59W. This wave is moving westward at about 20 kt. Isolated showers are ahead of this wave within 30 nm of 11N24W.Ī central Atlantic tropical wave, with a very noticeable signature on satellite imagery, has its axis extending from 20N51W to 05N55W. Some trees fell across highways and Kamehameha Highway on Oahu was closed in Kaaawa because of debris on the road, according to the state Department of Transportation.Ī few thousand people lost electricity when trees fell on power lines.A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 22W from 02N to 17N.
