Overview

  • As of Monday, Dexter was 936 miles east of Miami at 34.6°N, 68.3°W, packing sustained winds of 40 knots and gusts up to 50 knots while tracking northeast at 10 knots.
  • NHC forecasts indicate Dexter will weaken into a post-tropical cyclone by Wednesday afternoon and dissipate by Saturday.
  • Ongoing wind shear has kept the storm’s structure exposed and prevented further intensification.
  • Dexter’s winds and swell are expected to produce rough marine conditions throughout the corridor from Bermuda to Nova Scotia.
  • Forecasters are also monitoring a tropical wave off Africa and a low-pressure area off the southeastern U.S., both with low short-term development odds but potential to organize this week.
