According to the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET), Hurricane Erin will be well away from our forecast area, but its cloud remnants will continue to generate, mainly in the afternoon until the early hours of the night, cloud increases with moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms and wind gusts towards the regions: northeast, southeast, southwest, Central Mountain Range and border area. The waves on the Atlantic coast will gradually return to normal during the night.
On Wednesday, in the morning hours, the atmospheric environment will not show appreciable changes, however, in the afternoon until the early hours of the night, the local effects of daytime and orographic heating will be interacting with the humidity existing in the air mass that covers us. It is forecast that in the afternoon hours, some local showers, isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts will occur in provinces such as Montecristi, Santiago Rodríguez, Puerto Plata, Dajabón, Santiago, La Vega, Espaillat, Hermanas Mirabal, among others nearby.
The new Fernand phenomenon A new atmospheric phenomenon is developing in the eastern Atlantic and could register a trajectory very similar to Hurricane Erin: in the coming hours it could become a depression, with the potential to increase to become Storm Fernand. "We will be closely monitoring its evolution because it will find favorable atmospheric conditions to become the sixth tropical cyclone of the season," explained meteorological analyst Jean Suriel. Saharan dust has decreased in recent days, which will allow it to develop a significant cloud structure: in addition, Atlantic surface temperatures are warmer than last week. It is moving west at 32 km/h: with this trajectory, it will approach the Lesser Antilles on Friday; between Saturday and Sunday it will define its transit near DR. The GFS model predicts a direct impact on Dominican territory on Saturday; while the EUROPEAN model places it on Sunday morning north of Puerto Rico. The center of the phenomenon is located 365 km north of Puerto Plata, but it has become an extremely large hurricane: it extends from north to south about 1,450 km.
