Overview

• Dexter’s center is located 505 kilometers north of Bermuda with sustained winds of 75 km/h and gusts up to 95 km/h while moving northeast at 20 km/h.
• The SMN confirms Dexter poses no direct landfall threat but its outer bands will bring very heavy rains to Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Chiapas.
• A low-pressure zone in the Pacific south of Oaxaca carries a 90 percent chance of tropical cyclone formation within 48 hours, with tropical wave 20 set to merge and trigger intense rains in Guerrero, Oaxaca and Veracruz.
• Two Atlantic disturbances—one off the U.S. southeast coast (10% chance in 48 hours, 40% in seven days) and another in the central Atlantic (20%/60%)—are under watch for possible cyclogenesis this weekend.
• The National Hurricane Center projects Dexter will transition into a post-tropical system by Thursday afternoon and is not expected to strengthen into a hurricane.
