Tropical Storm Dolly dissolves, but its rainfall threat to the Caribbean remains

Tropical Storm Dolly weakened to a remnant wave within 24 hours of forming on August 27, prompting the National Hurricane Center's final advisory. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect. Yet Dolly's moisture is forecast to bring heavy rain and possible flash flooding to the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola through early next week — the primary hazard despite the storm's dissipation.
