Dolly on Brownsville, Texas radar just minutes ago...The eye is becoming well developed.
Dolly is taking aim at south Texas and the Rio Grande Valley at this hour. The storm is beginning to look much better organized on radar and has slowed down its forward speed. This would allow the storm to gain some strength before landfall expected at about noon today near Brownsville, Texas. Dolly has 85mph winds and a NOAA Recon Aircraft reported a central pressure of 972mb during a recent flight. She could still reach Cat 2 status just prior to landfall. The storm is expected to produce 6-10 inches of rain in the region with life threatening flooding and tornadoes being the biggest risk at this time. Seas are rough and a surge of 4-6 feet above normal is expected along the immediate coast.
