Dexter to Become Extratropical as National Hurricane Center Tracks Two Potential Storms

Dexter is forecast to intensify today during its transition into an extratropical low.

A map from the National Hurricane Center shows meteorologists monitoring three disturbances, including one tropical storm, in the Atlantic Ocean.

Overview

  • Tropical Storm Dexter has strengthened to sustained winds near 50 mph and is centered about 425 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, posing no threat to land.
  • The National Hurricane Center projects Dexter will complete its extratropical transition by Friday and may briefly regain strength before weakening over the weekend.
  • A low-pressure area several hundred miles off the Southeastern U.S. coast is producing minimal shower activity and holds a 30% chance of tropical cyclone formation over the next seven days.
  • A tropical wave moving off the African coast carries a 60% probability of organizing into a tropical depression by early next week as it tracks west-northwest.
  • NOAA forecasts an above-average 2025 Atlantic hurricane season with 13 to 19 named storms and peak climatological activity expected from mid-August through October.
