Hate to "rain" on your parade but the latest forecast model I saw
puts in moving almost directly west from the Brownsville area and even
turning slightly west-southwest.

The farther west it gets before the steering westerlies take over from
the Pacific coast the better our chances become...it's always a long
shot, but once in a while...

The DDC 2AM "behind the scenes" discussion didn't mention the scenario
this morning, though.

But as of 2PM today, the following update...

I think the ECMWF, which is generally consistent with the Canadian
model, suggests the most realistic track for Dolly's remains. If
correct, this may be one of the better chances of widespread
rainfall in a while roughly Monday night into Tuesday for the dry
western (KS) counties.

Hooboy, surely hope it does pan out...
