A weather system was moving across Florida on Tuesday, with the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it heads towards the northeastern and northern Gulf later in the week, per the National Weather Service. If it becomes a named storm, it would be known as Tropical Storm Dexter, but it is not expected to be as dangerous as the fictional vigilante serial killer from the crime drama “Dexter.” The system, characterized by heavy rains, is causing concerns about flash flooding in parts of the state through the week. The National Weather Service stated that conditions are conducive for further development, possibly leading to a tropical depression by the end of the week.
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has already seen three named storms – Andrea, Barry, and Chantal. Should the current system become a tropical storm, it would be the fourth of the season. The forecast for this season predicts a total of 13 to 19 named storms, with six to 10 becoming hurricanes and three to five reaching major hurricane status.
In light of hurricane season, Florida’s Attorney General has informed state airports that they must report any aircraft used for “weather modification” purposes starting in October, following a new Florida law. Misinformation linking weather modification to recent flash floods in Texas prompted this action, despite no evidence supporting such claims. Authorities emphasize that cloud seeding, a form of weather modification, would not lead to the extreme precipitation observed in the floods.
