Hi Gusty, used my rusty French to read the Martinique alert. I'm puzzled by comments here and the reports from Grenada, Barbados and St Vincent as well as the Meteo's forecast for wind speeds, although rainfall of a 100mm seems consistent with experience further south.
Friends in St Vincent and Grenada say it is continuous heavy rain and little wind. Barbados reports intermittent rain and showers. I don't see how this is centred on Barbados, the position and rain seems further west and south of that, with 92 shuffling NW at a very slow speed. Any insights from your part of the island chain as to where it is and where it's headed?
Here’s how Frengly.com translated the PDF document for Guadeloupe, in part:
Current Status and ObservationsA rain-storm disturbance is located on Barbados. At the front, sometimes heavy showers are triggered already on Guadeloupe. It was thus observed today, 20 liters per m2 on Basse-Terre, 50 litres/m2 mountain. The Northern Great Earth was somewhat concerned, but on the south there are 15 to 40 litres/m2 litres/m2 the area Pointe a Pitre / Gosier.
WEATHERThe rain gradually become more frequent over the next two days. They will be accompanied by thunderstorms and give significant accumulations in places. The southeast wind will increase as well, blowing up to 40 km / h with gusts exceeding 80 km / h in the storm. The sea will grow moderately , between 1.50m and 2m, but will take an unusual direction southeast.
SummaryThe risk of occurrence of the phenomenon is moderate to strong impact is expected to moderate
Validity - duration of the phenomenonValidity scheduled until Sunday morning. Next update: tomorrow Friday, September 10 before 6:30
Clearly, something got “lost in translation.”
