Tropical Storm Dexter formed in the Atlantic Ocean near the east coast of the United States, specifically east of North Carolina and north of Bermuda. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has reported that Dexter is moving away from the U.S. East Coast and is not expected to make landfall in the United States. The storm has shown signs of weakening but may strengthen again as it moves further out to sea, with the possibility of becoming a weak hurricane by Friday. Dexter is the fourth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season and formed nearly a month after Tropical Storm Chantal, which was the first to make landfall in the U.S. this season. In addition to Dexter, the NHC is monitoring two other systems in the Atlantic Basin: a disturbance offshore Florida and a tropical wave in the central Atlantic. These systems have a combined 30% chance of developing into tropical storms over the next week, with the wave coming off Africa considered to have the higher potential for development. Meteorologists continue to watch multiple areas for tropical storm formation, including Tropical Storms Henriette and Ivo, which are expected to become hurricanes. The overall tropical activity in the Atlantic is increasing as the season progresses.
