National Hurricane Center Monitors Three Atlantic Systems For Potential Development

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is currently tracking three weather systems in the Atlantic with potential to develop into tropical storms or depressions. Tropical Storm Dexter, the first named storm of the season, is forecasted to remain away from the U.S. coast and north of Bermuda, eventually weakening into a post-tropical cyclone. A tropical wave expected to move off the west coast of Africa later this week could gradually develop into a tropical depression as it crosses the central Atlantic, with a moderate chance of formation. Additionally, a non-tropical low-pressure system off the coast of North Carolina, designated Invest 95L, has a high probability of becoming a tropical storm by Monday, moving away from the U.S. East Coast. A third low-pressure area southeast of the Carolinas also shows some potential for development later in the week but with lower odds. Forecasters emphasize that the 2025 hurricane season is expected to be above normal, with 13 to 19 named storms and 6 to 10 hurricanes predicted, signaling a need for continued vigilance along the U.S. Atlantic coast.
