Hurricane Dolly makes landfall as a Cat. 2 with winds up to 100 mph. This is the first storm of the season to hit the U.S. coast (just north of Brownsville, TX). Eventhough Dolly has weakened to a Cat 1 with top winds upwards to 95 mph, it has somewhat stalled along the coast threatening many with the potential of major flooding.

NOAA predicts up to a foot of rain to fall by Friday morning in southern Texas. Brownsville is the city under greatest risk for flood waters.
