A new tropical storm is developing in the Atlantic that could be named, unfortunately, “Hurricane Dolly.”

WCAX reports a tropical cyclone appears likely to develop in the Atlantic basin within the next few days. The weather development is being monitored as it has a “high chance” of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane within the next two to seven days.

The storm will be named Dolly as it is the next name on the 2026 list of Atlantic hurricanes. Different names are used to identify different storms during hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.

That means Tropical Storm Dolly or Hurricane Dolly could emerge less than a week after the death of Dolly Parton. The beloved country singer, actress and philanthropist died Tuesday at age 80.

“If it becomes a hurricane, it should be a category 9 to 5,” one Facebook user joked.

“She’s going after Jolene,” another commented.

“I would prefer a star be named after her so she could sparkle down on all of us,” a third wrote.

While it may seem like unfortunate timing, “Dolly” was chosen for the list of hurricane names six years ago. The World Meteorological Organization chooses the names, which are recycled every six years.

'Our hearts are broken': Pastor mourns loss after deadly tent collapse at outdoor church event

Pastor Troy Keaton of EastLake Community Church in Moneta, Virginia, said his church family was grieving after one person died and more than 20 others were injured when a burst of wind lifted a tent during an outdoor 20th-anniversary service.

The collapse happened at about 6:45 p.m. on Friday during an outdoor service, and a severe storm cell had moved through the area with heavy rain, lightning and strong winds before the tent structure failed, according to a statement by Bedford County, Virginia.

Eleven people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals, and 11 others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. One person died at the scene.

Bedford 911 Emergency Communications received the initial report and classified the incident as a mass casualty event.

First responders from Moneta Volunteer Fire Department were already at the event and began rescue efforts immediately, while emergency personnel and resources from neighboring localities also responded, according to the county’s statement.

The tent had passed an inspection by the Bedford County Division of Building Inspections last Tuesday.

County officials extended condolences to the church community and thanked local and regional first responders for their work.

The release linked the failure to weather conditions, saying the storm cell brought heavy rain, lightning and strong winds before the tent failed.

Drivers across several parts of the United States could face dramatically different weather hazards over the weekend and into next week as a powerful weather pattern pushes across the country.

Forecasters say a fast-moving storm system is expected to bring strong winds and heavy snow across the northern tier, while dangerous fire weather conditions develop across the Plains and unusually warm temperatures build across parts of the western U.S.

According to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center forecast discussion, an intensifying clipper-type system is expected to sweep from the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, bringing heavy snow and potentially damaging winds.

Two people were killed in Washington and Mississippi, and hundreds of thousands are without power across the country as severe weather causes havoc across the nation.

Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue said that the person died in the city of Monroe, northeast of Seattle, when a tree fell on their vehicle. "Unfortunately, this incident turned out to be fatal for the only occupant in the vehicle," the fire service said on Facebook.

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reported one death and three injuries in Lawrence County, as well as storm damage to homes.

The severe West Coast weather comes as many parts of the country were hit by storms, including at least 27 tornadoes in the Midwest alone, in the last 48 hours. An elderly couple from Lake Village, Indiana, was killed Tuesday night, and multiple others were hospitalized as a result of tornadoes and a powerful long-track thunderstorm that lasted more than seven hours.

The Newton County Coroner's office confirmed that Edward L. Kozlowski, 89, and his wife, Arlene Kozlowski, 84, were killed when a tornado struck their home.

The National Weather Service office in Chicago preliminarily confirmed two tornadoes touched down in Illinois and Indiana on Tuesday, one of them rated EF-3 on the six-step Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning it had sustained wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph.

Hundreds of homes were damaged in Indiana, authorities said, with dozens completely destroyed. The NWS said that hail as large as 6 inches wide was found in Illinois.
