Hurricane Dolly made landfall near South Padre Island in Texas this morning. Dolly was a category two storm packing winds of 100 mph when she came ashore. She is expected to bring up to a foot and a half of rain and up to eight feet of storm surge across the region. Dolly will continue to weaken as it continues to move NW into central Texas. Hurricane warnings are still in effect from San Fernando, Mexico to Corpus Christi, Texas.
Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Cristobal is becoming extratropical over the open waters of the Atlantic as it rapidly moves northeast away from the United States. A tropical wave has also formed off of the coast of Africa and the National Hurricane Center will be observing the system over the next week as it moves to the west at about 20 mph. Any development of this system will be slow to occur.
