Meteorological authorities in the Dominican Republic have announced a significant shift in weather patterns as a prevailing trough system begins its departure from the national territory. The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) indicates this atmospheric transition will introduce drier air masses associated with an anticyclonic system, creating predominantly sunny conditions across most regions throughout Saturday.
While extensive sunshine is forecast for the majority of the country, meteorological models predict isolated precipitation events affecting specific provinces. Eastern winds are expected to transport light cloud formations that may develop into scattered showers, particularly affecting María Trinidad Sánchez, Samaná, La Altagracia, El Seibo, Barahona and Pedernales. These precipitation events are most likely to occur during morning and afternoon hours.
Temperature patterns will remain moderate and comfortable due to combined influences from northeastern winds and occasional frontal passages. The most pleasant conditions are anticipated during nocturnal and early morning periods, with particularly noticeable effects in mountainous regions and valley areas where fog and mist formation frequently occurs.
Looking toward Sunday, forecasters predict the approach of a weak trough system that will interact with prevailing east/southeastern winds. This meteorological combination is expected to generate occasional cloud cover with light to moderately intense showers across eastern provinces including La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Samaná and María Trinidad Sánchez. Precipitation activity is projected to expand during afternoon hours toward southwestern regions and the Central Mountain Range, affecting San Cristóbal, San Pedro de Macorís, Santo Domingo, Peravia, San José de Ocoa, Azua, Monte Plata, and Monseñor Nouel before gradually diminishing by early evening.
