Santo Domingo.– The effects of front system which caused downpours, thunderstorms and gusts of wind over the Dominican territory this Friday, will begin to weaken starting this Saturday, reported the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet).
According to the agency, the frontal system will be located to the southeast of the island, moving away from the forecast area, and will give way to a colder air mass with lower moisture content, which will limit rain and contribute to a drop in temperatures.
Indomet indicated that the effects of the wind and local orography are only expected to generate, starting in the morning hours, some scattered rains and gusts of wind in locations on the Atlantic coast, the eastern plain, the southwest and the Central Mountain Range.
Among the provinces that could be affected are La Altagracia, La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís, El Seibo, Santo Domingo, Azua, Peravia, San Cristóbal, San José de Ocoa, Bahoruco, Independencia, Barahona and Pedernales.

Temperatures will remain cool and pleasant, especially in mountainous areas and inland valleys, with the occurrence of fog and mist at night and in the morning.
“We expect the wind chill to become even colder over the weekend, due to the arrival of another frontal system,” Indomet explained in its Friday afternoon report.
