Tropical Storm Dexter formed on Sunday, but it’s expected to move away from the U.S. coast and stay north of Bermuda, so there is no threat from that storm.
According to the National Hurricane Center, as of 5 a.m. Monday, Dexter was moving east-northeast at 12 mph with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.
Some slight strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, but Dexter is likely to become post-tropical by Wednesday.
The NHC is also tracking two other areas of interest in the Atlantic.
A tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa is currently producing only limited shower activity.
In a few days, environmental conditions are forecast to become favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the latter portion of this week as it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
Some gradual development is possible, and a tropical depression could form late this week while it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic. Formation chance over the next week is about 50%.
Off the Southeastern United States, a broad area of low pressure is forecast to develop in a couple of days a few hundred miles off the coast.
Some gradual development of this system is possible during the middle or latter portion of this week as the system drifts slowly westward to northwestward.
Formation chance over the next seven days is 30%.
