The Emergency Operations Center (COE) has issued a green alert for the provinces of La Vega, Monsignor Nouel, Santiago, Monte Plata, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Duarte, Sanchez Ramirez, Hermanas Mirabal and San Jose de Ocoa, because of the rains and electrical storms that they expect to continue today and tomorrow.

The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) is also watching an area of clouds and rain showers associated with a tropical wave located near the Yucatan Peninsula, which shows a low potential for becoming a tropical cyclone over the next few hours.

According to Diario Libre, there were heavy rains with thunder and lightning that covered the skies of Santo Domingo yesterday afternoon. These rains, according to Onamet, "are being caused by the interaction of a low-pressure trough, associated with a low-pressure area, with the approach of a tropical wave that is now to the east of Puerto Rico, and moving west rapidly, together with the abundant humidity and instability over the island."
