Santo Domingo.- Six provinces remain on alert due to the presence of a trough and a tropical wave located over the country, while the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) reported that it monitors a disturbance located to the east of the Lesser Antilles, which has a potential 50% chance of becoming a depression.
The provinces under alert are Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Juan Sánchez Ramírez, Santiago de los Caballeros, Duarte and María Trinidad Sánchez, according to the report.
The rains caused by both phenomena will persist over these demarcations and other Dominican populations, and the cloudiness is expected to decrease starting this Tuesday when the tropical wave moves away from the Dominican soil.
