It was sunny in Santo Domingo into the afternoon on Monday, but the Weather Department is forecasting heavy rains over the next 48 hours as a tropical wave moves over from Puerto Rico. The neighboring island has already reported flooding following torrential rains of up to four inches per hour, and rainfall amounts have exceeded 20 to 30 inches in parts of southeastern Puerto Rico. More rains are expected in Puerto Rico today, before the storm moves across the Mona Channel.
The Emergency Operations Center (COE) has declared a yellow alert for 13 provinces, mainly in the east, and a green alert for the rest of the country. Heavy rainstorms are expected in the provinces of La Altagracia, La Romana, San Pedro de Macoris, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Samana, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Santo Domingo, Duarte, Puerto Plata, Sanchez Ramirez, Espaillat and the National District.
