Active System (Remnants of Dolly): Located near latitude 15.0N, longitude 46.9W (about 1,000 miles east of the Leeward Islands). Moving west at 25 mph (41 km/h). Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with a minimum central pressure of 1008 mb.
Status & Trajectory: Dolly has officially degenerated into an open tropical wave, and this is the final public advisory from the NHC. Rapid westward motion will continue, bringing the remnants near the Leeward Islands by Saturday night and Sunday, with winds expected to drop below tropical-storm force on Saturday.
Impacts & Warnings: No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect, but interests in the Leeward Islands should monitor the progress of the remnants. Heavy rain could affect the Leeward Islands late Saturday into Sunday (producing potential flash flooding in higher terrain), before spreading into the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola on Sunday and Monday.
Key Takeaway: Dolly has weakened into an open tropical wave, and this is the final advisory from the NHC. Attention shifts entirely to tracking its gusty remnants and heavy moisture plume as they approach the Leeward Islands this weekend.
