Santo Domingo – The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) reported that several country localities expect cloudy skies on Sunday mornings. Some morning showers are forecast in the provinces of María Trinidad Sánchez, Hermanas Mirabal, and Puerto Plata.
The Onamet highlighted that the axis of the tropical wave has passed, but considerable humidity remains over the country to continue interacting with the trough and the orographic effects.

Regarding maritime conditions, it was recommended to navigate close to the coastal perimeter on the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts without venturing out to sea due to reduced visibility caused by heavy rains, electrical discharges, wind gusts, and locally abnormal swells.
