Santo Domingo. - Hurricane Katia is still at category 2 but expected to strengthen in the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center, which locates it at around 955 km South-Southeast of Bermuda, with maximum sustained winds of 160 kph, moving Northwest at around 19 kph.

Although Katia is in the open Atlantic, the National Meteorology Office (Onamet) forecasts waves up to 10 feet high along the entire North Coast, for which small craft should remain in port, and warns against swimming in the surf.

Onamet forecasts widely scattered showers and thunderstorms in the Central Mountains and Border Zone for the rest of the country.
