  • WEATHER (6:00 AM on 21 December 2025): A lower-level trough is affecting the area (craft advisory still in effect)

    WEATHER (6:00 AM on 21 December 2025): A lower-level trough is affecting the area (craft advisory still in effect)

    Meteorological authorities have issued critical advisories for residents and maritime operators across the Caribbean region as an active weather system moves through the area. A low-pressure trough continues to generate unstable atmospheric conditions, presenting a multifaceted weather challenge combining precipitation risks with hazardous marine conditions.

    The terrestrial forecast indicates predominantly overcast skies throughout the day with intermittent scattered showers, particularly during morning hours. Meteorological models project a gradual diminishment of precipitation activity as the day progresses toward afternoon hours, though isolated showers may persist. Officials have specifically alerted communities in geologically vulnerable zones, including areas susceptible to landslides and falling rocks, to maintain heightened awareness and implement appropriate precautionary measures.

    Maritime conditions present additional concerns, with moderate sea states expected across the region. Significant wave height differentials are anticipated between coastlines, with western exposures experiencing approximately 5-foot waves accompanied by northerly swells, while eastern facing coastlines may encounter more substantial 8-foot waves. In response to these conditions, maritime authorities have implemented a dual advisory system: A Small Craft Advisory remains active primarily for eastern coastal waters, while a High Surf Advisory has been enacted for western and northern coastal areas. These warnings specifically urge heightened vigilance among operators of smaller vessels and recreational sea bathers.

    Coastal improvement is projected to commence after nightfall along western exposures, with meteorological monitoring stations continuing to track system evolution. Tonight’s forecast suggests a transition to partly cloudy conditions with occasional cloud cover and potential isolated showers during late-night hours.

    WEATHER (12:00 PM December 20 2025): Small Craft Advisory and High Surf Advisory

    Meteorological authorities have issued a series of weather advisories as an approaching low-level trough induces unstable atmospheric conditions across the region. The forecast for the upcoming 24-hour period indicates intermittently cloudy skies accompanied by scattered showers, with a relative decrease in precipitation activity anticipated overnight.

    Residents in geologically vulnerable zones, particularly those susceptible to landslides and rockfall incidents, have been placed on heightened alert. Officials are urging extreme caution in these areas due to potential ground instability triggered by the anticipated rainfall.

    Maritime conditions present additional concerns, with moderate seas expected to prevail. Wave heights are projected to reach approximately 5 feet along the western coastline, accompanied by northerly swells. The eastern coastal region faces more challenging conditions with waves nearing 8 feet in height.

    The deteriorating marine environment has prompted the issuance of a Small Craft Advisory, primarily targeting the eastern coastal waters. Simultaneously, a High Surf Advisory remains in effect along western and northern shorelines due to significantly increased ground swells. These conditions necessitate heightened vigilance among maritime operators, particularly those commanding smaller vessels, and recreational sea bathers are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution.

    This afternoon and evening weather pattern is characterized as partly to occasionally cloudy with periodic breezy conditions and scattered shower activity. The meteorological instability is expected to persist throughout the forecast period, requiring continued public awareness and precautionary measures.

  • Low temperatures: Trough will bring isolated showers

    Low temperatures: Trough will bring isolated showers

    The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) has issued a weather advisory forecasting isolated showers accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds across multiple provinces on Thursday. Affected areas include La Altagracia, Hato Mayor, Samaná, María Trinidad Sánchez, Monte Plata, San Cristóbal, Peravia, Duarte, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, San José de Ocoa, Sánchez Ramírez, Azua, Santo Domingo, and the National District.

    Meteorological analysis indicates this weather pattern will commence during morning hours with precipitation intensity expected to increase significantly throughout the afternoon. The atmospheric disturbance is attributed to a mid-level tropospheric trough system interacting with prevailing east/northeast wind patterns, creating optimal conditions for convective development.

    Temperature readings are projected to remain seasonally low, particularly during nocturnal and early morning periods. Mountainous regions and valleys will experience the most notable temperature decreases due to topographic influences and seasonal factors. Minimum temperatures are forecast between 20°C and 22°C, while maximum temperatures will range from 30°C to 32°C.

    Separately, the National Meteorological Service has issued a maritime warning for Atlantic coastal waters. Operators of fragile, small, and medium-sized vessels are advised to exercise extreme caution due to developing abnormal wave conditions that may pose navigation hazards. Marine operators should monitor updated forecasts and consider altering voyage schedules until oceanic conditions stabilize.

    WEATHER (6:00AM Dec. 19, 2025): Small craft advisory for part of island, swimmers should be cautious

    Meteorological authorities in Dominica have issued a series of public advisories as a dominant high-pressure system establishes itself over the region for the next 24-hour period. According to the Dominica Meteorological Service, prevailing conditions will feature partly cloudy skies with intermittent cloud accumulation, resulting in sporadic brief showers. Persistent windy patterns are expected to continue throughout the duration.

    The weather service also noted the possibility of localized light haze formations, prompting specific recommendations for vulnerable populations. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions are advised to implement necessary health precautions during periods of reduced air quality.

    Marine forecasts indicate moderately challenging conditions, with significant variations between coastlines. Western coastal waters are projected to experience waves up to 5 feet with 9-second swell intervals, while eastern exposures face more substantial swells reaching approximately 8 feet in height.

    In response to these conditions, officials have activated a Small Craft Advisory primarily for eastern maritime zones, cautioning operators of smaller vessels about potentially hazardous seafaring conditions. Simultaneously, a High Surf Advisory remains in effect for western and northern coastal areas where increasing ground swells pose risks to beachgoers and swimmers. Marine safety experts emphasize heightened vigilance for all coastal activities during this period.
