NHC Tracks Dolly's Remnants and New System Invest 97-L
Listen to the story
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching the weather in the Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical Storm Dolly is now gone. But there are still remnants of Dolly in the ocean.
The NHC says these remnants are less likely to become a storm again. This is called redevelopment.
At the same time, a new weather area is growing. It is called Invest 97-L.
The chance for Invest 97-L to become a storm is going up.
The remnants of Dolly may bring rain. This rain can help places that need water. This is called drought relief.
A drought is when a place does not get enough rain for a long time.
People in Houston are also checking the weather this week.
