Throughout the past week, the National Hurricane Center monitored two to three disturbances in the Atlantic simultaneously, with forecasters repeatedly raising and adjusting development odds for potential tropical depressions. Updates from Friday evening through the following days described shifting chances of formation, including one disturbance off the west coast of Africa seen as increasingly likely to organize into a system in the coming week. Separately, meteorologists noted that whichever storm forms next in the Atlantic basin will be named Dolly, a coincidence given country singer Dolly Parton's death this week. The naming drew attention alongside the ongoing tropical outlook, though none of the disturbances had yet strengthened into a named storm as of the latest advisories.
