High humidity will favor showers in some provinces this Saturday

Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet), reports that showers will occur this Saturday. According to the forecast, in the morning hours, isolated showers will occur in provinces near the south coast of the country, such as: La Altagracia, La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís, among others, associated with the cloudiness that the wind carries towards us. As the afternoon progresses, the high moisture content in our air mass, brought by the south/southeast wind induced by Tropical Storm Jerry, will combine with the effects associated with the diurnal cycle, generating cloud cover increases with showers, thunderstorms, and isolated wind gusts until the early evening hours, especially towards provinces such as: La Altagracia, Hato Mayor, El Seibo, Monte Plata, Samaná, Monseñor Nouel, La Vega, Santiago, Espaillat, San Juan, Elías Piña, Dajabon, Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata, Valverde and Santiago Rodríguez, among other provinces. For Sunday, the flow of warm and humid wind from the southeast will continue to generate cloudiness in the early morning and early hours of the day, which will leave isolated showers in towns near the South coast of the country, while in the afternoon, these conditions will combine with the effects associated with the diurnal cycle, with heavy downpours expected in isolated points, thunderstorms and wind gusts towards provinces of the northwest, southeast, southwest, the Cibao Valley and the Central Mountain Range, until the early hours of the night.
