Rain and thunderstorms are expected from Saturday afternoon in the Dominican Republic

Meteorological conditions in the Dominican Republic are expected to deteriorate due to two distinct weather systems. An incoming tropical wave is forecast to bring scattered rain and thunderstorms to various regions, including the Gran Santo Domingo area, beginning Saturday afternoon. Simultaneously, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly are projected to cause an increase in precipitation and wind gusts starting Sunday afternoon, with effects potentially lasting through Tuesday.

Authorities, including the director of the Dominican Institute of Meteorology, have alerted the public to the prolonged nature of these weather events. The combination of increased humidity from the tropical wave and the lingering influence of the tropical storm remnants suggests a multi-day period of unsettled weather across the country.
