Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 Arrives

Squally showers to start the morning off with and some strong gusts of wind. Things are starting to brighten up at about 10:30 hours and the wind reducing in intensity. We still have some more showers around in the area so I expect some squally conditions if they pass our way.

Attached some pictures:

1. A casualty. Had a branch come down on a Cedar Tree.

2. The view first thing this morning. Low cloud and showers. In the twilight zone.

3. Guadeloupe radar at about 09:25 hours, showing St Kitts and Nevis (marked in red) in-between two areas of showers. The one to the east moving towards us.

Wind measurements to give an indication of what we had up in the Nevis Peak foothills so far.

	High	Low	Average
Wind Speed	20.0 mph	4.0 mph	12.3 mph

So far at my location the rain measure is 0.45 inches.
