Tropical Storm Dolly, which quickly and unexpectedly formed this week in the central Atlantic, was expected to bring heavy rainfall this weekend to the Leeward Islands on the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea, the National Hurricane Center said. Although the hurricane center’s projected path for Dolly put the storm on a westward course, it is unlikely that Dolly will maintain its strength, forecasters said, suggesting that it shouldn’t pose a threat to the Gulf of Mexico or Texas anytime soon, if at all. Here’s what we know: Where is Dolly headed? The rotating center of Tropical Storm Dolly was about 1,100 miles east of the Leeward Islands, moving west at 24 mph. The storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, which barely qualifies the system as a tropical storm.
