Tracking Tropical Storm Dexter, the latest weather across Tampa Bay

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring three systems in the Atlantic — including Tropical Storm Dexter, which became the fourth-named storm of the season. The other two areas are near the U.S. coastline and moving off the coast of Africa, but neither is expected to pose a direct threat to us in Florida. Tropical Storm Dexter Tropical Storm Dexter is located about 275 miles north-northwest of Bermuda and moving northeast at 15 mph. It's expected to continue moving in this direction over the next few days. Dexter has sustained winds of 45 mph. "Little change in strength is forecast over the next couple of days, and Dexter is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by the middle to latter portion of this week," the National Hurricane Center wrote. Tropical system off Southeast U.S. coast An area of low pressure located several hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. is expected to develop over the next couple of days. It's possible that this system could gradually develop toward the middle or end of this week as the system drifts slowly westward to northwestward. Right now, the biggest threat will be more heavy rain moving toward the Carolinas and the mid-Atlantic. Formation chance through 48 hours: 0% Formation chance through 7 days: 30% Central Tropical Atlantic Wave A tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa is currently producing only limited shower activity. As it moves west-northwest over the next few days, it could slowly develop. Right now, the latest models still show a lot of obstacles in its way, including dry air and Saharan Dust. However, it could become a tropical depression over the central Atlantic by the end of this week. Formation chance through 48 hours: 0% Formation chance through 7 days: 50% At this time, none of these systems poses a direct threat to land, but we’ll continue to monitor all areas closely in the coming days.
