Hurricane Dolly was the fourth named storm and fourth hurricane of the 1968 Atlantic hurricane season. Dolly was one of four tropical cyclones to strike Florida during the 1968 season and one of only two tropical cyclones to form in August 1968. Dolly had developed on August 10 from a tropical wave near Andros Island within the Bahamas. Only six hours thereafter, the newly formed tropical depression made landfall in south Florida, before re-emerging into the Atlantic Ocean near Melbourne, Florida. Intensification was initially slow, due to a frontal boundary attempting to absorb the tropical depression. Rapid strengthening occurred after released from the influence of the frontal system, causing it to strengthen into a tropical storm and hurricane within twelve hours. Several oscillations

Dolly was one of four tropical cyclones to strike Florida during the 1968 season and one of only two tropical cyclones to form in August 1968. Dolly had developed on August 10 from a tropical wave near Andros Island within the Bahamas. Only six hours thereafter, the newly formed tropical depression made landfall in south Florida, before re-emerging into the Atlantic Ocean near Melbourne, Florida. Intensification was initially slow, due to a frontal boundary attempting to absorb the tropical depression. Rapid strengthening occurred after released from the influence of the frontal system, causing it to strengthen into a tropical storm and hurricane within twelve hours. Several oscillations in intensity occurred, before Hurricane Dolly had weakened to a tropical depression and became extratropical on August 17. Early in its duration, Dolly dropped light rainfall in three states, resulting in minimal damage since it was only a tropical depression. In addition there no fatalities reported in associated with Hurricane Dolly.
