The Next Atlantic Storm Will Be Named Dolly, But Not After the Late Parton
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The next tropical storm to form in the Atlantic this hurricane season will be named Dolly, but the timing is purely coincidental and has no relation to the death of Dolly Parton on Tuesday. Storm systems are named according to procedures established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the lists of names are reused every six years. For the Atlantic region, the lists are alphabetical and alternate between male and female names. This season began with tropical storm Arthur, which made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast in June, and tropical storm Bertha brought rain to Louisiana and Texas in July. Tropical storm Cristobal formed and quickly dissipated in the Atlantic in early August. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) was monitoring a weather system off the coast of Africa that could strengthen into a named tropical storm.
