Rain and thunderstorms continue due to a trough in the northern zone

Santo Domingo.– The National Forecast Center of the INDOMET reported that, due to the incidence of a trough at various levels of the troposphere, in combination with the humidity transported by the east/southeast wind, cloudiness accompanied by moderate to heavy showers, possible thunderstorms and wind gusts continue to be observed in several provinces of the country.

The provinces under weather alert are: Espaillat, María Trinidad Sánchez, Duarte, Puerto Plata and Hermanas Mirabal, due to the risk of urban flooding and sudden rises in rivers, streams and ravines.

It is expected that the rainfall will extend overnight and into the early morning hours to nearby locations, including Santiago, La Vega, Samaná, Puerto Plata, Valverde, San Juan, Santiago Rodríguez and Pedernales, as well as the Caribbean coast in sectors such as San Pedro de Macorís, San Cristóbal, Santo Domingo and Barahona.

We recommend reading:

For tomorrow, Friday, the trough will continue generating local showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts, mainly in towns near the Atlantic coast and other provinces such as La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Monseñor Nouel, and San José de Ocoa. In Greater Santo Domingo, scattered showers with possible thunderstorms and wind gusts are expected during the night and early morning.

On Saturday, the combination of the trough and the approach of a frontal system will maintain the environment conducive to the formation of cloudiness with moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms and isolated wind gusts, especially in the north, northeast, southeast regions, the Central Mountain Range and the eastern plain.

The temperatures will remain pleasant, with lows between 10 °C and 21 °C and highs between 24 °C and 30 °C, depending on the location. The swell is expected to be normal.
