Tropical Storm Chantal continues its path towards the island of Hispaniola, Dominican Republic and Haiti…

It is expected, according to the forecast and path of the storm, which it will pass over on the west side of the island, affecting Haiti and the south of the Dominican Republic. According to the meteorologists, it’s possible that when it to comes into contact with the mountains in Hispaniola it may lose intensity and disperse, being no longer a threat to people’s life.

Looking at the photo of the projection, it appears that Luperon will be almost outside the storm cone, however, even so, are expected heavy rain and considerable wind gusts.
