The latest storm news on July 17 said that hurricane experts predict that this system will affect many states.
The Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1, has entered a state of high alert this week as forecasters begin monitoring the latest depression.
Dexter is likely to form, especially after the developments of the most recent storm Chantal, when warm water temperatures and Gulf of Mexico have favorable atmospheric factors for the storm.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast shows the area at risk of being affected by the latest storm stretching from Florida to Louisiana.
This shows that densely populated US centers and critical infrastructure could face hurricane-related weather conditions in the second half of the week.
Heavy rains are the biggest concern, with widespread rainfall of 101-203mm possible across Louisiana and the Mississippi coastal areas.
AccuWeather's tropical eye's trajectory map shows the storm could make landfall directly in Louisiana. Forecasters expect the storm to make landfall at around 2pm on July 17, local time.
AccuWeather hurricane expert Alex DaSilva is particularly " concerned about possible flooding in Louisiana" this weekend as the storm appears to be able to hold back or move slowly in the state.
Da Silva said major cities such as New Orleans and Baton Rouge are likely to see the heaviest rainfall.
Smaller rainfall, 25-100mm, could affect the rest of Louisiana and most of Mississippi, as well as parts of Arkansas, Alabama and Texas. Since July 15, Florida has recorded heavy rains due to the influence of a system that could become Hurricane Dexter.
