Hi everyone...got a question for all of you. I'm planning to visit DR beginning next weekend for about 5 days. I've been checking weather.com, along with a few other sites, for about a week, keeping up on Frances and Ivan.
Here's my question...when weather.com lists the forecast as 30-40% chance of t-storms, is that generally pretty accurate? When the t-storms come, are they short-quick storms or should I count on long-soaking rains where my day on the beach will be all washed up? The reason I ask is summers in Florida always have forecasts like that, but their t-storms pop-up in the late afternoon, it rains for a short period of time, then you are back on the beach.
Looking at the forecast for Saturday into early next week, we're almost considering going to Aruba instead because we really want to relax on the beach and not end up stuck inside our hotel waiting for the rains to stop.
The part of DR that we are planning to visit is Las Terrenas. Any local info from there would be appreciated.
Thanks for whatever info you can provide.
Have a good day everyone!
