From 8pm EDT Monday public advisory on rainfall:

RAINFALL: Franklin is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 2 to
4 inches, with isolated higher amounts of 6 inches, across Puerto
Rico through the middle of the week. Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10
inches, with isolated higher amounts up to 15 inches, will be
possible across portions of Hispaniola.

It's currently on Curacao's radar, though won't be as it moves toward Hispaniola.

Best seen on the Caribbean radar composites:

I was going to say that the Domincan Republic has a radar, but data wasn't available publicly. But now it is! When I was checking these Twitter accounts:

Director of ONAMET:

(Even when a profile is available, Tweets aren't in order when not logged in)

I found the radar image, which they had posted at times on their Twitter account years ago:

Then someone asked why real time access wasn't available and then they responded with the link:

It's a screenshot of their display it seems, rather than an interactive map. That is not integrated into the Caribbean composites I linked above. I have to go update my radar database.
