Re: Dolly Strengthening.. Hurricane Warnings Up in Texas Brownsville to Port O'Connor

Looking at radar out of Brownsville, and it shows the 1st real rain band moving onshore along the upper Mexico coast, and just about to move onshore near Brownsville. While radar shows the eyewall, visible imagery doesnt really show much in the way of an eye just yet. In fact, radar imagery shows the eyewall convection to be not that strong. Dolly has chance to strengthen more, and will no doubt become a hurricane, but given the presentation and the time remaining over water, looks like she isnt gonna get 'that' strong! Also, with the continued northwest motion evident on the radar, she looks likely to make landfall near the TX / MX border, or just to the south.
