Mexican authorities maintain a tropical storm warning from Cabo Rojo to El Mezquital.
A tropical storm watch means that conditions are expected in the warning area within the next 12 hours, the hurricane center said.
Dolly is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 12 to 25 inches with isolated maximum amounts up to 38 inches across much of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon.
As in northern Veracruz and eastern San Luis Potosi until Wednesday night.
