In the forecast discussion, BWS forecaster Michelle Pitcher said, “For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Dolly, located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.”
The U.S. National Hurricane Center [NHC] in Miami said the storm is carrying maximum sustained winds near 50 mph [80 km/h], with some weakening forecast during the next 48 hours.
