Santo Domingo.– The director of the National Meteorology Office (ONAMET), Gloria Ceballos, reported that the National Meteorology Office is monitoring a tropical wave with a 40 percent probability of becoming a tropical cyclone.

The official said that the Atlantic continues to be active in this cyclonic season, so the agency monitors the wave that is active over the Caribbean Sea and a wide area of ​​low pressure which is located west/southwest of the Cape Verde Islands with 90 percent probability of becoming a tropical cyclone.
