Remnants Of Dolly, Area in Gulf Highlighted for Possible Tropical Development
The National Hurricane Center gives the Gulf low a 10% chance of development as Dolly’s remnants bring heavy rain to Caribbean islands.
- On Friday, Tropical Storm Dolly devolved into a remnant wave moving westward near 25 mph toward the Caribbean. The system is forecast to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola through early next week.
- Hostile atmospheric conditions and mountainous islands are disrupting the storm's circulation. AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva noted that land interaction and wind shear will prevent re-intensification as the system skirts the Greater Antilles.
- Widespread rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected from the northern Lesser Antilles to the southern Bahamas, with AccuWeather Local StormMax reaching 12 inches. Forecasters warn this moisture may trigger localized flash flooding in higher terrain.
- National Hurricane Center meteorologists are simultaneously monitoring a weak area of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf. This system carries a 10 percent chance of development over the next seven days and may impact Louisiana and Mississippi shores this weekend.
- Earlier this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration updated its seasonal forecast to expect between seven and 13 named storms this year. Dolly stands as the fourth named storm, following Arthur, Bertha, and Cristobal.
