Re: ATL: RAFAEL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Still looks like the heavier squalls should stay east of PR. Notice the plane is still having a hard time finding a circulation center. VDMs all over the place overnight. Sorry excuse for a TS, though I do see some showers/storms starting to develop near the very broad center, so it may become a better-defined TS later today. Main threat for the Lesser Antilles will be continued heavy rain.

Re: ATL: RAFAEL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Here are a few web cams that are located in the Islands. Some are working and others not but at least you can see what is going on. Also there are the radars. Visit the first post of the Caribbean-Central America Weather thread.

Re: ATL: RAFAEL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I received an email this morning from the manager of the Hix Island House saying that the last ferry out was 9:30 this morning.
I am hearing a ferry now leaving so our system seems to be still running.

WEATHER FORECAST. Orange vigilance maintained for heavy rains and thunderstorms
franceantilles.fr 13.10.2012
http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.a ... 189821.php
Wave tropical n ° 37, very active, was appointed last night at 20 hours local time into a tropical storm, it is called Rafael. Showers are still frequent today on our island. They are sometimes quite supported and stormy. This bad weather continues tomorrow Sunday.
The wave tropical n ° 37, very active, was appointed last night at 20 hours local time in tropical storm (Rafael). The centre, where the strongest winds are observed already was in the Caribbean Sea, and is currently (5 hours local) about 260 km to the West of Basse-Terre. Our archipelago should therefore remain on the margins of the winds force storm but remains concerned by the rear of the disturbance, fairly active and extended party on any Caribbean arc.
Showers are still frequent today on our archipelago. They are sometimes quite supported and stormy. This bad weather continues tomorrow Sunday. The south-easterly wind remains supported, with average speeds of 40 to 50 km/h (gusts exceeding 70 km/h) on the coast and the hills, before gradually weakening late in the day.
The sea continues to be amortized slowly, average lows around 2 m at the end. However, it remains pretty hashed due to wind.
Accumulations of water identified during the last 24 hours remain moderate, with 60 to 80 litres per m2 on Basse-Terre, and approximately 50 litres per square metre on Grande-Terre.
Gusts of 80 km/h have been measured on la Désirade, and 65 km/h at Marie - Galante. The sea is in the process of depreciation. Average low of 3 m 60 (with punctual max to 6 m 70) measured yesterday at midday declined m 2: 30 this morning.
Caution is required. The duration and intensity of the precipitation forecast on already soaked soils can cause strong accumulations of water, landslides and flooding in places, as well as the rise of some streams.

Re: ATL: RAFAEL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Where Cycloneye placed the COC of Rafael on the radar image looks about right.
COC still looks broad with the deep convection and MLC located SE of it. Though I wouldn't doubt if later today a LLC forms closer to the deep convection and MLC.
