Dominican Republic and Haiti issue weather alerts amid tropical wave
A tropical wave associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly is causing widespread weather instability across the Dominican Republic and Haiti. In the Dominican Republic, the Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has issued yellow alerts for several provinces, including the National District, Santo Domingo, San Cristóbal, and Monte Plata, with additional green alerts active in numerous other regions.
Heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and wind gusts are expected, with some models predicting accumulations between 50 and 100 millimeters. These conditions have already led to significant impacts, including approximately 100 damaged homes, urban flooding, fallen trees, and downed power lines in areas such as Valverde and San Cristóbal. Authorities have warned of potential flash floods in rivers and streams, as well as urban flooding in low-lying areas.
In Haiti, five departments—including the West, Center, Artibonite, South, and South-East—have been placed under yellow vigilance. Forecasters warn of intense rainfall, potentially reaching 100 to 200 millimeters within six hours, which could trigger landslides and rapid river rises. Maritime warnings are also in effect for the Atlantic coast due to abnormal waves and winds.
