Forecasters say Dolly has become a hurricane and is heading across the Gulf of Mexico toward southern Texas and northeastern Mexico.

Dolly was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane this afternoon and some strengthening is forecast before landfall Wednesday.

Dolly is moving toward the northwest near 10 mph, and maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph. A hurricane warning is in effect for the coast of Texas from Brownsville to Corpus Christi and in Mexico from Rio San Fernando northward.
