Expect some rain for the afternoon of this Thursday due to a trough

Santo Domingo. - The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET), forecast that by the afternoon of this Thursday the weather conditions will begin to change, as a result of the incidence of a nearly stationary frontal system north of the country, and a trough linked to this system. Both will be generating cloud increases accompanied by weak to moderate rains at times, isolated thunderstorms and possible wind gusts, in the indicated provinces, and in others such as: Dajabón, Valverde, Santiago Rodríguez, San Juan, Elias Piña, Santiago, La Vega, María Trinidad Sánchez, Duarte, Samaná, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, El Seibo and La Altagracia. These precipitations could persist during the night, mainly in locations near the Atlantic coast. However, the weather pattern of the Dominican territory will not present appreciable changes during the morning hours, with a mostly clear and sunny sky reigning over a large part of the national geography, except towards areas near Monte Cristi, Espaillat and María Trinidad Sánchez, where isolated and passing precipitation could occur. Tomorrow, Friday, the front system and the trough will gradually move away from our forecast area, giving way to a mass of air with less moisture content, associated with a high-pressure system. But it is not ruled out that the warm and humid east/southeast wind will cause slight cloud drifts during the early morning, so that weak and isolated rains will occur in towns near the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts. In the afternoon, these precipitations will disappear, and a mostly sunny sky with isolated clouds will prevail.

National District: scattered clouds with slight increases at times. Santo Domingo Norte: scattered clouds to partly cloudy in the afternoon. Santo Domingo Este: isolated clouds with slight cloud increases in the afternoon. Santo Domingo Oeste: few clouds in the morning hours with slight increases in the afternoon. Minimum temperatures between 21 °C and 23 °C and the maximum between 30 °C and 32 °C. Summary: During the morning hours, weather conditions will remain with little change, prevailing a sky with scattered clouds and scarce precipitation. In the afternoon, a nearly stationary front to the north of the country and a trough linked to this system, will cause cloud increases with weak to moderate rains, isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts, towards towns in the regions: northwest, north, northeast, Central Mountain Range and some border locations… Pleasant temperatures during the night and early morning in mountain areas and valleys of the interior. For Saturday, the warm and humid southeast wind is forecast to interact with the approach of a trough to the northwest of the country, associated with a frontal system, so from dawn there will be cloud increases with local showers, especially in the provinces: Pedernales, Barahona, Azua, Peravia, La Altagracia, San Cristóbal and Santo Domingo. In the afternoon and evening, the precipitations will be in the form of local showers with wind gusts, and will be concentrated towards sectors of Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, La Romana and La Altagracia.
