TVN storm chasers Joel Taylor, Matt Chatelain, Daniel Betten, Matt Van Every, and Curtis McDonald are currently heading south through Texas to intercept Hurricane Dolly at landfall tomorrow east of Brownsville, TX. Check out the live tracker tomorrow for live streaming video throughout the hurricane landfall, and hopefully from inside the eye if cell phone towers can remain functional. As of the last advisory, Dolly has attained minimal hurricane status, and is forecast to strengthen to at least 80 knots by landfall tomorrow morning. Convection has tried to explode and wrap completely around the center all evening, and an eye has begun to appear on Brownville, TX radar and possibly latest IR imagery (see below).
The forecast track for Dolly is still directly over the TX/Mexico Border east of Brownsville, very near South Padre Island. TVN Stream 1 will attempt to document the storm from a barrier island if possible, since the storm surge will not be out of control. Stay tuned for updates as the hurricane chase unfolds!
