The next Atlantic storm will be named Dolly, but it's not connected to Parton's death

The next tropical storm projected to develop in the Atlantic will be named Dolly, though this is purely coincidental and unrelated to Dolly Parton’s death. Storm systems are named using procedures set by the World Meteorological Organization, with names being reused every six years. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecast a below-average Atlantic hurricane season due to El Niño.
