Santo Domingo. - The Dominican Republic's Meteorology Institute (INDOMET) forecast that some isolated showers are expected in the morning towards the Atlantic coast, due to the transport of cloudiness carried out by the wind; while for the rest of the country, a sky of isolated to scattered clouds is forecast, due to the incidence of an anticyclonic system.
In the afternoon, the interaction of the wind with the orography and the daytime heating will cause local showers, isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts towards La Altagracia, El Seibo, the Baoruco mountain range, San Juan, Elías Piña, San José de Ocoa, Monseñor Nouel, La Vega, Santiago, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón, among other nearby provinces. This rainy activity will gradually decrease at nightfall, as it extends towards the northeast Cibao.
Tomorrow Saturday, during the early morning hours, isolated showers are expected towards the Caribbean coast, associated with a more humid air mass driven by the indirect influence of Tropical Storm Jerry. In the afternoon, despite the anticyclonic system, the slight incidence of a trough will cause local downpours, thunderstorms and wind gusts over Hato Mayor, El Seibo, Monte Plata, San José de Ocoa, Monseñor Nouel, La Vega, Santiago, Espaillat, San Juan, Elías Piña, among other bordering provinces, until the early night hours.
Updated cyclonic activity in the Atlantic basin, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico or America:
