Dolly is armed and dangerous...


Hurricane Dolly may continue to strengthen during the early morning hours before landfall. It is expected to make landfall along the northern Mexico or southern Texas Gulf Coast on Wednesday during the morning or midday hours.

As of 2 a.m. CDT, the center of Hurricane Dolly was located about 85 miles east-southeast of Brownsville, Texas. Dolly is sluggishly moving toward the northwest at just 9 mph. The storm's pressure, measured by the Air Force Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance plane, was near 982 mb.

Hurricane warnings have been issued from Rio San Fernando in Mexico northward to Corpus Christi, Texas. Tropical storm warnings surround the hurricane warning area, with tropical storm warnings in effect in Mexico between Le Pesca and Rio San Fernando (where a hurricane watch is also in effect), and between Corpus Christi and San Luis Pass in Texas.
