Santo Domingo. - The forecast for this Friday will be marked by scattered showers, especially in towns of La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Samaná, María Trinidad Sánchez, Puerto Plata, Espaillat and Duarte, among other locations near the north coast, as a result of the incidence of a trough and the influence of the prevailing east wind, according to the results provided by the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET). But in the afternoon, these precipitations will extend in the form of moderate to heavy showers locally with possible thunderstorms and wind gusts at times, over Monte Plata, Sánchez Ramírez, Santo Domingo, San Cristóbal, Monseñor Nouel, San José de Ocoa, Santiago, La Vega, Azua, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón, San Juan and Elías Piña.

In that sense, at night, the rains will decrease almost nationwide, except towards the southwest region, where some cloud increases with scattered precipitation will occur. Regarding temperatures, they will remain pleasant and cool, especially in mountainous areas and inland valleys, due to the time of year, where occurrences of fogs and mists are expected. On the Atlantic coast, from Cabo Engaño (La Altagracia) to Cabo Francés Viejo (María Trinidad Sánchez) we recommend operators of fragile, small and medium-sized vessels to remain in port, due to wind gusts and dangerous waves. For the rest of the Atlantic coastal perimeter, it is recommended to navigate with caution, without venturing out to sea. The Caribbean coast has returned to normal. Distrito Nacional: scattered clouds with slight cloud increases in the morning. In the afternoon, showers, thunderstorms and wind gusts. Santo Domingo Norte: Scattered clouds to partly cloudy at times in the morning. In the afternoon, showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts. Santo Domingo Este: Scattered clouds to partly cloudy at times in the morning. In the afternoon, showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts. Santo Domingo Oeste: scattered clouds with slight cloud increases in the morning. In the afternoon, showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts. Minimum temperatures between 20 °C and 22 °C and the maximum between 29 °C and 31 °C. Summary: Moderate easterly winds and a trough will maintain favorable conditions for scattered showers to occur from early hours and throughout the day, especially in towns in the regions: north and northeast. In the afternoon until the early hours of the night, the precipitation will be in the form of moderate to heavy downpours with thunderstorms and wind gusts, towards the southeast region (especially El Gran Santo Domingo), Cordillera Central and border area. Recommendations are maintained on both coasts due to dangerous waves. Temperatures will remain cool and pleasant towards mountainous areas and valleys of the interior. On Sunday, despite an anticipated decrease in the intensity of the rainfall, the east/northeast wind will continue to transport cloudiness from the morning, generating some showers in sectors of Santo Domingo, Monte Plata, San Pedro de Macorís, San Cristóbal, Monseñor Nouel, Hato Mayor, La Altagracia, El Seibo, Samaná, Duarte and María Trinidad Sánchez, decreasing significantly during the night, giving way to a mostly clear sky in a large part of the country.
