Dexter Moves Away as NHC Monitors Two Atlantic Disturbances and Pacific Storm Henriette

Two Atlantic disturbances carry 30% to 50% development odds over the next week

A map from the National Hurricane Center shows meteorologists monitoring three disturbances, including one tropical storm, in the Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical Storm Dexter is seen in this weather satellite photo taken Tuesday, churning across the Atlantic, hundreds of miles north of Bermuda. Tropical storm-force winds extend out 115 miles from the center of Dexter's circulation.

Overview

  • Tropical Storm Dexter is centered about 345 miles north of Bermuda, moving northeast at 12 mph with no coastal watches or warnings in effect
  • Forecasters expect little change in Dexter’s strength over the next day before it re-intensifies as an extratropical cyclone later this week
  • A broad area of low pressure several hundred miles off the Southeast U.S. coast has a 30% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within seven days
  • A tropical wave in the far eastern Atlantic has a 50% chance of becoming a cyclone and could form a tropical depression by the end of the week
  • In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Henriette formed about 985 miles west-southwest of Baja California with 50 mph winds and is forecast to strengthen slightly then weaken without threatening land
