Tropical Storm Dexter has formed off the U.S. East Coast, becoming the fourth named storm of the season. While Dexter is expected to move away from the U.S. coastline, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two other areas of potential tropical development in the Atlantic. Following a slow start to the hurricane season, forecasters are closely watching these systems as well as various disturbances that could impact coastal regions, particularly the Carolinas. With record ocean temperatures fueling activity, the tropics are waking up, and residents are urged to stay informed of the developments.
