Hello, Dolly
Dolly has become the fourth named tropical system of 2008. Hurricane Center forecasters have been tracking this as a low pressure system since it was out in the Atlantic Ocean, and it recently caused heavy rainfall in Cuba and Jamaica.
Now located in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Honduras, Dolly is expected to cross the Yucatan Peninsula Sunday night before entering the Gulf of Mexico early Monday. By early Thursday, the storm is expected to make landfall somewhere near the Texas/Mexico border.
While it looks unlikely that Dolly will directly affect Georgia, she will tend to drive tropical moisture into the state, increasing the chance of thunderstorms as the week goes on. And, with landfall more than three days away, there’s still some potential for changes in the forecast path.
