Low pressure system will cause rain and slides for the next couple of days
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A trough of low pressure over the country has changed little over the 24 hours ending at 5 p.m. Costa Rican time. The U.S. National Hurricane center said Monday there is less than a 30 percent chance that this system would become a tropical cyclone in the next two days.
However, the Instituto Meteorológico Nacional said that the system has saturated the ground and brought rivers to higher levels on the Caribbean and on the Pacific coasts. There also have been slides over some highways and fog banks cause poor visibility on highways and at airports.
The weather center said in an afternoon summary that the system is expected to remain stationery for at least 60 hours. This means intermittent rain during the night, particularly in the mountains and in the Caribbean and the northern zone, the institute said. Also expected are more afternoon downpours, it added. The Comisión Nacional de Emergencias is on alert. The main Ruta 32 between San José and Guápiles has been closed due to a slide, the commission said.
