Invest 96-L Likely to Become Next Tropical Depression in Atlantic, NHC Says
ATLANTIC OCEAN, AUG 7 – Three tropical systems in the Atlantic, including Tropical Storm Dexter with 50 mph winds, pose no land threat during a season forecasted to have 13-19 named storms, NOAA said.
- The National Hurricane Center tracked two Atlantic systems on August 8, 2025, including Tropical Storm Dexter and a low-pressure area near the Southeast U.S. coast.
- These systems developed amid an ongoing hurricane season running from June 1 to November 30, with low development chances for the coastal low but a 30 percent chance for Dexter to become a tropical depression by September 10.
- Tropical Storm Dexter stayed far offshore, about 425 miles south of Newfoundland, and posed no threat to land but could impact shipping lanes and produce rip currents along the East Coast through the week.
- The latest seasonal forecast predicts between 13 and 18 named storms, with five to nine expected to intensify into hurricanes and two to five becoming major hurricanes of Category 3 or above.
- Meteorologists expect increased tropical wave activity mid-August, mainly in the central Atlantic, suggesting the season may see more storms though current development remains typical and quiet.
