The light showers that have been falling over much of the Dominican Republic should continue on into Tuesday, according to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet). Onamet said that an east-northeast flow is influencing conditions.
Onamet says that the rains and the winds will mostly affect the provinces of Puerto Plata, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Samana, La Altagracia, Monte Plata, La Romana, San Pedro de Macoris, Hato Mayor, Santo Domingo and the National District.
Likewise, forecasters are saying that the rains might grow stronger in the east, northeast, north and southeast of the country and "dangerous" waves will be common along the Atlantic coast and the coastline of the Mona Passage, and therefore small craft warnings are in effect.
The exceptions are the Caribbean coast and Samana Bay where small craft can leave port, but not go too far out to sea.
The Onamet web page says that strong gusts of wind will continue to be felt along the north coast due to a high-pressure system and that temperatures will continue to be "pleasant."
