We’re constantly trying to prepare you for the worst weather you could face on your next Disney World visit. While you might find yourself prepared to fend off a little rain here and there, dealing with severe weather and hurricanes is certainly time you want to be more cautious. Earlier this week, the National Hurricane Center spotted a Tropical Storm forming over the Atlantic, and we now know more details.

According to local news, WESH2, Tropical Storm Dexter appears to be losing strength as it hovers over the ocean. Over the weekend, a new weather pattern of interest named Tropical Storm Dexter by the National Hurricane Center, formed over the western Atlantic. It now appears to be losing strength as it moves away from the coast.

While it might not be as strong as it once was, the NHC advises us to keep an eye on this storm, as they’re forecasting it to reintensify again. However, they do anticipate Dexter to stay in the Atlantic as a tropical storm. If the storm reintensifies, the NHC is prepared to classify Dexter as a post-tropical cyclone if that happens by their predictions.

Currently, Dexter poses no threat to Florida, but the NHC is monitoring a tropical wave in the far eastern tropical Atlantic. A gradual development of the wave is possible, and a tropical depression could form late this week as it moves west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.

Additionally, a wide area of low pressure is forecast to develop in the coming days, just a few miles off the southeastern U.S. coast. The NHC said system development is expected by midweek as the system drifts to the northwest.

It’s important to remember that Florida is still in the throes of Hurricane Season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th annually. In addition to hurricane season, you can expect random summer storms to impact Disney World.

While most of the time the worst you could be facing is heavy rainfall and thunderstorms that could likely put a damper on your trip, on occasion, more severe weather can occur, and it’s always best to be prepared.
