Dolly Parton died, next Atlantic storm could share her name. Here’s why
The next Atlantic tropical storm will be named Dolly, following established naming procedures. Forecasters are monitoring a system off Africa which may strengthen into a named storm. This season is predicted to have below-average storm activity due to El Nino. Storm names are chosen for ease of pronunciation and familiarity in affected regions. Some names are retired after causing significant destruction, like Melissa from 2025.
