Radar loops show that Dolly is very close to the mouth of the Rio Grande–almost exactly where the NHC track forecast has said all along. However, it sure looks (to me anyway) that she has slowed with quite a bit of her circulation is now over land and there is some hint that the eye, trying to avoid land resistence and friction, was trying to curve a little to the north. But, don’t take my word, go by official NWS statements from Brownsville and the NHC
