The National Weather Service (Onamet) says the rains will continue until they gradually let go on Wednesday, 27 September 2017. Then on Wednesday, the effects of the Sahara Dust cloud moving from Africa will begin to be felt, bringing dryer weather for the rest of the weak.
Onamet maintains the alert for flooding in Monte Plata, Samaná, Espaillat, María Trinidad Sánchez and Puerto Plata. Rains are also forecast for Santiago Rodríguez, Sánchez Ramírez, Montecristi, Duarte, Greater Santo Domingo, Hermanas Mirabal, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, Santiago and Valverde.
