Tropical Storm Dolly Speeding Toward Caribbean, Hurricane Center Says
- As of Friday morning, Tropical Storm Dolly is moving westward across the central Atlantic at around 24 mph, though the National Hurricane Center expects the system to weaken into a tropical wave before reaching the Caribbean.
- Increasing southerly wind shear and dry air are disrupting the storm's circulation, preventing significant strengthening as hostile conditions intensify before the system reaches the Leeward Islands this weekend.
- Despite the expected weakening, the system's moisture could bring heavy rain to the Leeward Islands late Saturday into Sunday, with potential impacts spreading to the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola through Monday.
- Dolly poses no direct threat to Florida or the United States, according to meteorologists; the storm's name coincidentally shares no connection to music icon Dolly Parton's death earlier this week.
- As the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, Dolly requires continued monitoring as its remnants move westward, though no coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect.
