A low-pressure trough and a tropical wave over the eastern part of the island will cause rains with thunder and lightning and occasional wind gusts over a large part of the national territory.
The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) said that rains would continue over the next five days and would be heaviest on Saturday and Sunday because of the low-pressure trough.
The Onamet is keeping a constant eye on the active tropical wave that is closing in on the Lesser Antilles. While the system has little chance of intensifying and becoming a tropical storm, it does have a very large field of clouds.
As a result, Friday will be partly cloudy with scattered showers over a large part of the country. The forecast for Santo Domingo and the surrounding area is for increasing cloud cover and rains. Rainfall is expected to be heaviest in the northeast, southeast and central mountains.
