Tropical Storm Dolly continues to slowly strengthen, but explosive intensification did not occur last night like we thought it might. Convection developed near the center of the cyclone but a well developed central dense overcast could not quite materialize. However, the last few satellite scans look like the storm may finally be getting its act together, with rapid intensification still likely before landfall. As expected, the forecast track has been adjusted slightly to the left, with a predicted landfall early Wednesday morning just south of the Texas border in Northeast Mexico.


Even though Hurricane Hunter aircraft measured a wind of 60 knots (assumed to be over-estimated due to heavy precipitation), the intensity in the 7 am CDT advisory was set at 50 kts.. But I would not be surprised if Dolly is upgraded to a minimal hurricane by the next advisory. TVN Stream 1 is still thinking very seriously about intercepted this storm - so stay tuned for updates.
