Storm Active: August 3-
At the beginning of August, a frontal system moved off of the U.S. east coast. A low pressure center formed along the front shortly after, not far from the coast of North Carolina. It moved steadily east-northeast away from land and soon detached from the front. Late on August 3, it had fully shed frontal characteristics, and was already producing gale force winds. Therefore, it was named Tropical Storm Dexter.
From the time of its formation, wind shear out of the west continually increased over Dexter, causing the center to be exposed on the western edge of the convective canopy.
As of 5:00pm EDT on August 4, 2025, Tropical Storm Dexter had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, a central pressure of 1002 mb, and was moving northeast at 15 mph. For more information and the latest watches and warnings, please consult the National Hurricane Center.
