Masa de aire polar avanzando hacia el Caribe
La masa de aire frío desprendida de un frente frío cerca de Bahamas se desplaza hacia la región del Caribe impulsada por la amplia circulación del Huracán Tammy: en las próximas 24 a 48 se acercará al norte de República Dominicana, donde llegará el miércoles en la noche.
Mientras que los efectos indirectos de Tammy seguirán en gran parte del país generando nubosidad y precipitaciones entre moderadas y fuertes.
Para este martes se espera la producción de lluvias después del mediodía hacia el noreste, norte, sureste, Cordillera Central, suroeste y áreas de la zona fronteriza.
Algunas ráfagas de viento se han sentido en el territorio dominicano en las últimas 24 horas por el tránsito del Huracán Tammy por el noreste de la región caribeña.

According to The Guardian, Tej will be only the second hurricane-strength tropical cyclone to make landfall in Yemen in recorded history. Authorities in Yemen have closed schools and told fishermen not to go to sea. Neighboring Oman has also taken emergency precautions to anticipate the storm.

A study last year from Khalifa University in the United Arab Emirates found that the warming waters of the Arabian Sea should produce an increasing number of tropical cyclones in years to come.
