Tropical Storm Dolly Tropical Storm Dolly has been downgraded to a tropical wave on Friday morning, and it is still expected to bring heavy rains to the Lesser Antilles.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tropical Storm Dolly has been downgraded to a tropical wave on Friday morning, and it is still expected to bring heavy rains to the Lesser Antilles.

Dolly has lost its defined center of circulation and has been classified a tropical wave.

The 11 am advisory from the National Hurricane Center had winds of 40 mph. The remnants of Dolly are expected to remain a tropical wave as it quickly moves west.

Those with interests in the northern Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of Dolly, as heavy rainfall is likely on Saturday and Sunday.

There is still high uncertainty about the exact rack of Dolly’s remnants next week, and this will be monitored over the next several days.

Warm waters north of the Greater Antilles could allow Dolly to reorganize, but that is very uncertain.

Dolly formed on Thursday morning and is the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

We remain at the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, and additional systems are likely to develop in the coming weeks.
