Tropical Storm Dolly entered the Gulf of Mexico, where it may strengthen into a hurricane in the next day while sparing Mexico’s state-owned oil rigs. A hurricane watch was issued for Texas’s southern coast.

Dolly’s center was about 55 miles (105 kilometers) north- northeast of Progreso, Mexico, and heading west-northwest above the area’s warm waters, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said just before 11 a.m. Miami time. Sustained winds were about 50 miles per hour.
