The cold front, whose portion affecting Haiti is weakening, continues to influence local weather conditions, maintaining unsettled weather along its path, with variable cloud cover.

The instability associated with the tail of the front, combined with the advection of a slightly humid flow over the southern regions, is already causing rain in the Upper Artibonite, the Lower Northwest, and some localities in the South.

These showers, potentially thundery, are expected to intensify and gradually spread across almost the entire country during the afternoon, evening, and possibly overnight in some areas. These rain and thunderstorms are forecast to be more intense in the far north.

A gradual improvement is expected starting overnight in the Far North, while the Far South could experience a wet morning on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in some areas.

Rainfall totals of 100 to 200 mm are expected in the Far North over 24 hours, potentially exceeding 250 mm in mountainous areas, accompanied at times by wind gusts of 20 to 40 km/h.

Given the already significant level of soil saturation and considering the forecast of intermittent, sometimes heavy, rainfall, particularly in the Far North this afternoon, with the possibility of persisting into the night, which could cause flash floods and landslides, the Hydrometeorological Unit of Haiti (U.H.M.) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR), in conjunction with the General Directorate of Civil Protection, is issuing a warning. The General Directorate of Civil Protection (DGPC) and the National Disaster Risk Management Plan (SPGRD) maintain the YELLOW alert for "heavy rain" for the Northwest, North, and Northeast departments this Friday, April 24, 2026.
