Rains are expected to continue today over a large part of the national territory, caused by a low pressure trough located over Haiti, according to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet). Most of the rains are expected to fall in Santiago, La Vega and Monsignor Nouel (Bonao), and will slack off during the afternoon. Rains are also expected in Hato Mayor, El Seibo, Monte Plata and Maria Trinidad Sanchez. The area around Santo Domingo is expected to be cloudy with possible scattered showers during the day.
The Center for Emergency Operations (COE) is maintaining a green alert for the provinces of La Vega, Santiago, Monsignor Nouel, Hato Mayor and San Cristobal because of possible urban flooding, together with rivers and creeks overflowing their banks and possible landslides.
