Tropical Storm Dolly Could Form in Eastern Atlantic
PT · Published Aug 26, 2026
The Atlantic hurricane season is entering its busiest period, and a tropical disturbance, currently identified as Invest 96L, is being monitored for potential development into Tropical Storm Dolly later this week.
This tropical wave is located off the coast of Africa, south of the Cabo Verde Islands, and has the potential to evolve into a tropical depression before strengthening further.

Impact & Risks

Currently, Invest 96L poses no immediate threat to the mainland U.S., but residents in the Lesser Antilles are advised to monitor its progress closely. If the system develops into Tropical Storm Dolly, it could bring increased showers to the region by Sunday. The potential for further intensification into a hurricane exists, depending on its ability to overcome wind shear and dry air. However, the exact trajectory and impact remain uncertain at this stage.
