WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A low (96-L) has formed in the eastern tropical Atlantic. While it moves westward to west-northwestward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. The system has become a little more organized and a short-lived tropical depression or storm. However, beginning on Friday, further development looks unlikely as it enters a more hostile environment. There will be no direct effects to land.
If it becomes a tropical storm, it would take the name Dolly. The name comes from a predetermined rotating list of names by the World Meteorological Organization.
The National Hurricane Center has given the chance of development 70% within the next two days.
The system will not impact Florida, but WPTV will continue to monitor the disturbance closely.
