A low-pressure area will continue to cause rains over much of the country. The rains are classified as light to moderate with some strong winds and thunder. This is because the low-pressure ridge continues to affect local conditions, and the rains will become more frequent and intense towards the northeast, east, southeast, the Cibao Valley and the central mountains. The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) is advising people living near rivers or streams in La Vega, Maria Trinidad Sanchez (Nagua), Monsignor Nouel (Bonao), Sanchez Ramirez (Cotui), Duarte (San Francisco de Macoris), Hermanas Mirabal (Salcedo), San Cristobal and Monte Plata to be especially aware of the risk of flash flooding and landslides. The forecast is for cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains over a large part of the country. For Santo Domingo and the National District, cloudy skies with light to moderate rains are expected. The rains are expected to continue into tomorrow.
