An observation from a friend of Grenada speaking about this area of rainshowers moving near its island

A large area of rain near Barbados

Good morning Grenada,
The radar and the satellite images are showing a large area of rain just ENE of Barbados. It looks like they may get some rain from this in the next couple of hours. The system that is causing this could easily give Grenada some rain today, but it does look like the worst of this rain is moving in a North Westerly direction.
The Windguru web site is giving small amounts of rain later this afternoon and evening. Lets hope it stays off for the Panorama in the Stadium this evening.
08:00 this morning the sky is mostly hazy but clear, except for some fluffy low clouds and some high cloud way off to the East.

Looking at it this morning, it looks like divergence caused by a trough of low pressure located to the NE of Puerto Rico. WV loops show this quite well. Not much, if any, vorticity and upper level conditions become pretty hostile in the Caribbean. I say no to development.

Hopefully
the upper level conditons are not really conducive and today we should deal in the islands with only and maybe some rain and isolated tstorms.

Things are warming up a bit here as Meteo-France Guadeloupe and Martinica have requiered a yellow alert for strong showers and tstorms there is a few minutes. Strong showers and tstorms shoud spread this afternoon and especially tonight. Given Meteo-France forecast, this yellow code should stay active until Monday night?! 
make me a bit surprising. Stay tuned. I will keep you informed hoping that Guadeloupe won't get to much rain from this event as Martinica...
