Summary
A weak low about 100 miles south-southwest of Pensacola is the nearer concern, with the National Hurricane Center giving it a 0% chance of development in 48 hours and 20% over seven days.
That Gulf disturbance is expected to move west slowly, but forecasters say it could still lift rain chances across southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi from Sunday into early next week, even without organizing.
Dolly’s remnants, several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands, carry a 0% two-day and 10% seven-day redevelopment chance as wind shear and dry air limit any close circulation.
Heavy rain and gusty winds are possible for the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next several days, while any later approach toward Florida or the Gulf is only a longer-range risk.
