While far from Florida, Dexter is expected to bring higher surf conditions of 2 to 4 feet, along with a moderate risk for rip currents, according to the National Weather Service Melbourne. Dexter appears to be weakening as it battles wind shear.

A disturbance off Florida’s coast has a 40% chance of development and could bring increased rain to the state later this week.

Tropical Storm Dexter formed Aug. 3 off the coast of North Carolina, becoming the fourth named storm in the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
