Tropical Storm Dexter formed on Sunday night, Aug. 3, becoming the fourth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
The National Hurricane Center said in an advisory early Monday, Aug. 4, the storm was located about 255 miles northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts.
Dexter formed off the coast of North Carolina, however the NHC says the storm is moving toward the east-northeast away from the East Coast and that movement is expected through early Tuesday, followed by a slower motion Tuesday and Wednesday.
The storm is forecast to move away from the U.S. coast and stay north of Bermuda. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect and no hazards to land are expected.
"Some slight strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days," according to hurricane center forecasters, and Dexter is likely to become post-tropical by Wednesday.
