The National Meteorological Office n Onamet - is forecasting continuing showers until Wednesday. The rains that began on Monday, bringing welcome relief to some areas, but also bringing thunder and lightning, were the result of two low-pressure troughs that are affecting a large part of the national territory. One is to the northwest of Puerto Rico and the other is over the Dominican Republic. Rains are expected to increase over the next 48 hours and people living near rivers, creeks or on steep hillsides are warned to be on the lookout for flooding and landslide.
Today's Diario Libre features a front-page photo of a flooded barrio after yesterday's rains and a report in El Nuevo Diario says that we can expect more of the same. Today's forecast has partly cloudy skies over Santo Domingo and the National District with occasional showers. For the provinces of Duarte, Samana, Espaillat, Sanchez Ramirez, Santiago, La Vega, Monsignor Nouel and Espaillat there will be showers with lightning and wind gusts, especially in Duarte province. The same forecast is in place for Hermanas Mirabal, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Monte Plata, Hato Mayor, El Seibo, La Altagracia, San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, Barahona, Azua and San Juan de la Maguana.
