The National Hurricane Center has officially declared Dolly an open wave and will no longer be issuing advisories on it. Its remnants are forecast to continue moving westward but the environment will remain hostile and regeneration is not expected.
Dolly fizzles to a non tropical system. Winds are still 40mph and it's moving west at a good clip. Rain is still expected over the islands in a couple of days.
A look at the forecast for this weekend! Rain chances will hang around for some areas, mainly the MS coast. Sunday will be the wettest day area-wide, otherwise continuing temperatures in the low to mid 90s.
