The rains have been falling heavily in the East, and are expected to gradually move to other parts of the country. Officials are warning of heavy rains and thunderstorms as a tropical wave moves from Puerto Rico through the DR. The storm is moving slowly, north northeast, with a slight chance of developing into a tropical storm. The Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has raised warning levels to red for the provinces of La Altagracia, La Romana, San Pedro de Macoris, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Santo Domingo and the National District.
Samana, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Duarte, Puerto Plata, Sanchez Ramirez, Espaillat, Barahona and San Juan de la Maguana continue to be on yellow alert. The rest of the country is on green alert. Citizens are being warned to stay away from rivers, streams and gullies after the death of five people, including a baby, have been reported. Today it was reported that traffic from Higuey to La Romana was interrupted because of flooding.
