The Weather Office (ONAMET) has announced that the recent rains and low temperatures would continue to affect the entire country, with a frontal system going from east to southeast bringing cloudy skies and more rain. Heavy surf action was also predicted for the eastern coastline. Hospitals have reported an increase in patients complaining of flu-like symptoms. In addition, the Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has issued a Yellow Alert for much of the eastern provinces and for the eastern Cibao Valley, especially the low-lying areas of the Lower Yuna Basin. The recent rains have affected about 32 houses around the country. Three were destroyed completely and seven showed severe damage. Most of the damage occurred in El Valle, Samana, where 22 families had to be evacuated when strong waves started hitting the shoreline. In Higuey, 10 homes were damaged in the Antonio Guzman Fernandez barrio after the Duey River burst its banks.
