(Hard to pass up not using that feature title.) Dolly is a strong category 1 strength hurricane that is expected to make landfall along the Texas coast today. NEXRAD composite imagery shows the well defined eye and a tornado watch is in effect for the right front quadrant, which is favored for tornado development during landfall. The primary impact looks to be extremely heavy rainfall as the system moves slowly west. Sometimes these systems will eventually work their way toward Iowa, but the steering currents in the atmosphere do not favour that path.
