On the forecast track, this system should be nearing the Leeward Islands this weekend.
Satellite wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Dolly is forecast to degenerate into a tropical wave before it reaches the Leeward Islands.
