Storm Dolly Named After Dolly Parton | Washington DC News

Dolly Parton’s name is about to get a wild new twist—next tropical storm in the Atlantic will be named Dolly, not as a tribute, but because it’s the next available name on the pre-set list. With only a few storms this year, we’re hitting the letter D, and a low-pressure system off Africa could become that storm soon. The World Meteorological Organization picks names for clarity, not celebrity, so don’t expect any emotional nods—just weather tracking. Keep an eye on forecasts as Dolly might be forming faster than you think. Thank you to our sponsor Garrett Waller Performance…
