Yes, indeed -- Dolly is on its way toward Southwest Virginia
The remnant moisture of Hurricane Dolly that hit the South Texas coast more than a week ago is being pushed our way by a weak cold front. Dolly did a loop, crossing northern Mexico and then lifting into the southern Rockies before being pushed east. The extra bit of tropical moisture should enhance showers and thunderstorms ... this will be our best chance of rain in many days, maybe weeks. Don't expect anything like when a fresh tropical system moves in off the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean, when we can get some tropical wind gusts, widespread flooding downpours, and tornadoes. There may be a few strong wind gusts in a storm or two, but mostly, this will just be another episode of scattered showers and thunderstorms where one place gets two or three inches of rain and somewhere else a few miles away gets rumbly sprinkles.
