The meteorological office in Santo Domingo is warning people to be on the lookout for the next series of rainstorms that will be produced by a tropical wave heading our way. The Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has issued a "green alert" for the provinces of Santiago and Monsignor Nouel (Bonao) as well as the lower Yuna Valley. COE head Colonel Juan Manuel Mendez Garcia has asked people living on the banks of small rivers and streams in the area to be on the lookout for flood conditions and landslides. The National Meteorological Office (ONAMET) is predicting scattered showers and thunderstorms for most of the Dominican Republic. Small craft warnings are also in effect for coastal waters, with four to six foot waves and winds of up to 18 knots. According to Mendez Garcia, the COE is warning about "probable flooding in both rural and urban areas with landslides in the southeast and the provinces of Santiago and Monsignor Nouel."
