Dolly the Storm, Not the Singer | Augusta Georgia News

Tropical Storm Dolly may have caught everyone off guard — especially since it coincided with the recent passing of country music icon Dolly Parton. But don’t panic: it’s just a name coincidence. The National Hurricane Center confirms Dolly was already scheduled for 2026’s Atlantic list. This isn’t the first time Dolly has hit the weather radar — in fact, it’s been used ten times since 1953, including major hurricanes in 2008 and 2020 that caused billions in damage. Despite its stormy history, the name hasn’t been retired — proving some weather names are here to stay, even if they’re a little too familiar.
