The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) is forecasting that a low-pressure area over the Windward Passage would cause some showers over several parts of the country today.
They added that a tropical wave continues to move over the waters of the Caribbean with its axis over Jamaica.
The low-pressure system located over the Windward Passage, together with the effects of the predominant east-northeast breezes will pull the clouds towards the country, and because of this, showers are expected, mostly in the northeast, southeast, the frontier region, and in the Cibao Valley. Small craft are being advised to keep near the coast and not venture out into the ocean because of unusually strong waves caused by the tropical wave and the low-pressure area.
