The rainstorms that affected a large part of the country over the weekend will diminish slightly beginning today, according to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet). Nevertheless, the Emergency Operations Center (COE) is keeping the Green Alert it issued on Saturday in place for Santo Domingo province, San Cristobal, Bani, Azua and San Jose de Ocoa. This lowest of the three alert levels implies that the population should watch for possible landslides and flooding. Last night the COE had not reported any incidents. The rains and thunderstorms extended well into the night and upset recreational and entertainment activities such as the baseball game at the Quisqueya Stadium in Santo Domingo. Onamet informs that the low-pressure system that caused the rains and the instability will begin to leave the area today. But the respite will be brief since a frontal system is expected to arrive on Wednesday and should stay over the north of the country for a few days.
