Summary
- Tropical Storm Dexter forms, 4th named storm of 2025 season

As of August 4, 2025, Tropical Storm Dexter has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the fourth named storm of the 2025 hurricane season. According to the National Hurricane Center, Dexter is currently located about 255 miles northwest of Bermuda, with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph and higher gusts.
The hurricane center is also monitoring two other systems in the Atlantic that have low to medium chances of development. The first is a tropical wave forecast to move off the west coast of Africa, while the second is a broad area of low pressure expected to form off the southeastern U.S. coast. Both systems have the potential to strengthen into tropical depressions or storms in the coming days.
Amid the heightened storm activity, Dr. Michael Brennan, the Director of the National Hurricane Center, has urged people to begin preparing for the hurricane season. He emphasized the importance of developing evacuation plans, assembling disaster supplies, and taking steps to strengthen homes against potential impacts.
