The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) indicated that this Sunday during the morning hours, some local showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected in locations such as La Altagracia, El Seibo, La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís, Santo Domingo, among others, due to wind drag, the approach of a tropical wave and the trough aloft.

By nightfall, these precipitations will gradually begin to diminish. Tomorrow, Monday, the humidity left by the passage of the tropical wave plus a trough in the middle levels of the troposphere will favor the occurrence of passing showers, being weak to moderate, with possible thunderstorms, in the early morning and early morning hours, over La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís and Monte Plata. In the afternoon, precipitation will increase, generating moderate to heavy showers with electrical storms and wind gusts, Santo Domingo (especially in the northern part), Monte Plata, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, San Juan, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón, among other provinces under alert levels and meteorological warnings.
