West Indies were 44 without loss after five overs with Shai Hope on 14 and Evin Lewis on 29 when the heavens opened.
Replying to the visitors' total of 263 for eight, King and Carty featured in a second-wicket stand of 209, the duo making light of what could have been a daunting task following the early loss of Evin Lewis.
Livingstone's blistering innings outshone a century earlier in the day scored by opposition skipper Shai Hope.
The second game of the three-match series will be staged at the same venue on Saturday with the final clash set for Barbados next Wednesday.
Shimron Hetmyer returns to the side having last played in December last year when he was part of the 2-1 win over England. He replaces Alick Athanaze in the only change to the squad that toured Sri Lanka earlier this month.
"This is a dream come true," said an overwhelmed Forde, who was named Man of the Match, in reflecting on his contribution.
Dowrich, 32, has earned a surprise recall three years after he played his last test and four years since he featured in his only one-day international. He has played in 35 Tests.
