TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)— Tropical Storm Dexter formed off the East Coast as the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two other areas of low pressure.
Tropical Storm Dexter
Tropical Storm Dexter is expected to move away from the U.S. and stay north of Bermuda, the NHC said.
Dexter is moving east-northeast at 12 mph, and a faster east-northeastward or northeastward motion is expected by Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are at 45 mph, with higher gusts.
Slight strengthening is possible during the next couple of days and is likely to become post-tropical by Wednesday, NHC said.
Tropical Storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles, according to NHC.
Central Tropical Atlantic
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa later today, with some gradual development possible.
According to NHC, a tropical depression could form late this week as it moves generally west-northwestward.
A chance of formation in the next 48 hours is 0%, but in the next seven days it is 50%.
Off the Southeastern United States
An area of low pressure is expected to form off the coast of the southeastern United States in the next couple of days.
Gradual development is possible during the middle or latter part of the week as the system moves to the west or northwest, the NHC said.
The chance of development in the next seven days is 30%.
