A green alert has been issued for the provinces of Barahona, Azua, Bahoruco, Pedernales, Independencia, San Juan de la Maguana and Elias Pina. The alert is due to the rains that have been falling for the past day, according to El Nuevo Diario, quoting a report from the Emergency Operations Center (COE). These rains can cause flash flooding and landslides in the area.
A cloud mass located over Haiti is moving slowly towards Jamaica to the west and is expected to be over eastern Cuba by Tuesday, 23 October. The system has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours, but is not expected to bring more than rains to Hispaniola.
