The remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly continue to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the northern Leeward Islands. Showers and thunderstorms remain associated with the tropical wave, but there are still no signs of a closed circulation and redevelopment is unlikely.

Heavy rain will be moving over Puerto Rico and eventually Hispaniola on Monday

Dolly’s remnants are moving west to west-northwest at about 25 mph. The National Hurricane Center gives the system a 20% chance of redevelopment over the next seven days.

Meanwhile, Invest 97L is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms in the northern Gulf. Development is looking likely as the system drifts westward, with the NHC giving it a 70% chance of development through 48 hours and 70% through seven days.

Residents along the Louisiana and upper Texas coasts are being asked to monitor 97L, but at this time neither system poses an immediate tropical threat to South Florida.
