Dolly approaching the coast, rapidly intensifying

Hurricane Dolly is slowing and possibly stalling, while it is also undergoing rapid intensification. Dolly, as of 8 am, has winds of 95 mph (high-end cat. 1) and a pressure of 978 mb. However, recon just found a pressure of 961 mb near the eye of Dolly. I predict Dolly will make landfall late this afternoon near or just north of South Padre Island as an intensifying cat. 2 hurricane.

Update on 97L coming this afternooon.
