Tropical storm Dexter map: NWS warns of low-pressure area near North Carolina, says cyclone ‘made the transition to…'
As per the latest weather report, the area of low pressure located several hundred miles off the coast of North Carolina has been producing persistent deep convection which is 'now located southeast of the strongest temperature and moisture gradients….it is no longer frontal and has made the transition to a tropical storm.'
According to NHC, the tropical storm, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph), was heading northeast late Sunday. This makes 'Tropical Storm Dexter' the fourth classified storm of the hurricane season this year.
Frequent lightning, severe wind gusts, hail and occasional tornadoes are likely to accompany the thunderstorm.
The NWS weather prediction issued excessive rainfall threat over eastern parts of the country and in its weather report dated August 3 stated, 'A large dome of cool air will continue to provide cooler than normal conditions for early August from the Great Plains to much of the eastern U.S. except New England through the next couple of days.'
There is possibility of 'heavy rain and a threat of excessive rainfall especially from Florida Panhandle northward….Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also lift gradually north into North Carolina and possibly Virginia on Tuesday,' the NWS said.
Predicting marginal threat of excessive rainfall around the Great Plains, NWS suggested that the thunderstorm front will most likely weaken by Monday.
By Tuesday, a low pressure wave associated with an upper trough from the Pacific is expected to trigger the next round of strong to severe storms later that day across the northern Plains, NWS said.

New York City air quality declines as Canadian wildfire smoke envelops region
New York City air quality is dropping as Canadian forest-fire smoke swirls down the Hudson River, shrouding much of the eastern half of the continent in a haze. A person stands with a bicycle as smoky haze from wildfires, with a poor air quality rating, covers the skyline of Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 3(REUTERS) Air-quality alerts have been posted in New York City, with 740 fires raging across Canada from the Arctic Circle to southern Ontario. In the US, the warnings reach from Minnesota to Maine, while in Canada bulletins have been posted from the Northwest Territories to Quebec. Air quality in New York is moderate and will likely get worse through the day, becoming unhealthy for sensitive groups, according the National Weather Service. Conditions in Toronto, Canada's most populous city, are unhealthy in many areas, as well as in Detroit and parts of Chicago, said. 'Wisconsin all the way into Maine, there is a big chunk of unhealthy air,' said Joshua Weiss, a forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center. 'At least through the middle of the week we are going to have a pretty stagnant pattern, so the smoke is going to stick around.' The smoke from large wildfires raises health risks and has been blamed for hastening the melting of Arctic ice, since the soot absorbs more heat. In recent years, the plumes have drifted into US cities, most notably New York and San Francisco, turning skies orange and driving residents indoors to escape the irritants floating in the atmosphere. More than 200 of the Canadian wildfires are out of control, many in areas where it's difficult for firefighting crews to access them. The blazes have also threatened Canada's energy infrastructure, primarily in Alberta. There is a weather pattern building that should shift the winds later this week, Weiss said, blowing the smoke primarily back into Canada by Thursday and Friday.
