Indomet: Local showers with isolated thunderstorms in several parts of the country

Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Republic’s Meteorology Institute (Indomet) reported that a tropical wave located over the eastern portion of the country, moving rapidly westward, will be combining with a trough at different levels of the troposphere to contribute to some cloud developments generating local showers with possible thunderstorms and occasional wind gusts. These precipitations will be more frequent and intense over the provinces of La Altagracia, Samaná and Monseñor Nouel, in the morning hours. However, during the afternoon the precipitations will move towards other sectors of the country, in the form of showers with possible thunderstorms and occasional wind gusts such as Monte Plata, Azua, San Juan, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón, Montecristi, Santiago, Espaillat and Elías Piña, While for the rest of the country, a sky with scattered clouds with slight cloud increases will predominate.
