Tropical Storm Dexter is continuing to move away from the East Coast but two other systems are brewing in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.
In an advisory posted at 5 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 5, the NHC said Dexter was located about 345 miles north of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected for the next day or so, hurricane center forecasters said.
"Some re-strengthening is forecast in a couple of days as Dexter becomes an extratropical cyclone," the NHC said in the advisory, as Dexter is expected to continue moving in a general northeast direction during the next few days.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, a tropical wave over the far eastern tropical Atlantic is currently producing minimal shower activity, with environmental conditions appearing to be conducive for gradual development of the system during the next few days.
The hurricane center said a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend as the system moves west-northwestward across the central tropical or subtropical Atlantic. The system currently has a 50% chance of formation through the next seven days.
