Dolly Doppelgangers

The forecast paths keep evolving on this storm called Ike. The latest model results suggest that Brownsville, TX, or vicinity, is the target, approximately where Hurricane Dolly hit earlier this season. In addition, the outcome of the system looks similar to Dolly, with heavy rains hitting southern NM, west Texas, and OK. But since the Pacific’s Tropical Storm Lowell is forecast to pass over much the same ground before Ike arrives, the next couple of weeks may be unusually wet in southern NM.
