Moderate downpours are expected during the afternoon, focused on the northeast, northwest, southwest regions, and the Central Mountain Range. On the other hand, a decrease in rainfall is expected on Saturday due to the arrival of Saharan dust and the influence of an anticyclonic system, limiting precipitation to isolated downpours in specific parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/INDOMET_RDO\/status\/1703444455556666666\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tropical wave and trough will cause significant rainfall in the Dominican Republic The combination of a tropical wave and a trough will generate a notable increase in rainfall over much of the national territory this Thursday.
