Tropical Storm Dolly Hurries Toward Leeward Islands Tropical Storm Dolly is barreling toward the Leeward Islands, bringing with it the potential for heavy rain and flash flooding.
The storm's arrival serves as a timely reminder that even in periods of relative quiet, the Atlantic hurricane season remains a force to be reckoned with.
Meteorologists had predicted this year's lull due to El Niño's influence on weather patterns, but Dolly's rapid formation over the central Atlantic Ocean is a stark counterpoint.
