The next tropical storm in the Atlantic will be named Dolly, but the choice is coincidental and not related to Dolly Parton's recent passing. Storm names are determined by the World Meteorological Organization, with lists reused every six years. The current hurricane season has seen storms like Arthur, Bertha, and Cristobal, with a potential system off Africa possibly becoming Tropical Storm Dolly. The National Hurricane Center forecasts a below-average season, with eight to 14 named storms expected. Storm names are chosen for easy communication and some are retired, like Melissa from the 2025 season.
