Tropical Storm Dolly Heads for Caribbean | Charlottesville News

Tropical Storm Dolly is barreling west through the Atlantic, now just 1,500 miles east of the Windward Islands and headed straight for the northeastern Caribbean. Forecasters are on high alert as it could slam into the Leeward Islands by Thursday or Friday, then hit the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola by Friday—with Cuba possibly feeling the brunt on Saturday. While its strength remains uncertain—warm waters could fuel it, but high pressure systems may hold it back—it’s expected to be short-lived but heavy with rain. Up to four inches possible across multiple islands, with spots seeing up to twelve inches. Even if it doesn’t become a hurricane, this storm could cause major flooding and disruption—proof that tropical storms aren’t to be underestimated during peak season.
