Newser • • nation
Key Points:
- The name "Dolly," part of a rotating list of Atlantic storm names chosen decades ago by the World Meteorological Organization, is next in line for a tropical storm designation.
- A tropical wave near Cape Verde has about a 70% chance of developing into a tropical storm or depression, potentially becoming the fourth named storm of the season.
- The coincidence of the storm name "Dolly" with the recent mourning of Dolly Parton has drawn attention, with the Washington Post highlighting the singer's quote about rain and rainbows.
- The name "Dolly" has been used for storms previously in 1996, 2008, and 2020, replacing the name "Diana" in the naming rotation.
