Since both will form from the same front may as well post here. Icon is stronger with low num2 than 06Z

The 12Z UKMET has Dexter eventually becoming a minimal 988 mb H on Thursday though that’s an outlier right now:

Dexter has about another day or so as a tropical system. It is
currently experiencing strong vertical wind shear, which is only
expected to increase during the next 24 to 48 h. However, models
continue to predict that the interaction with the trough to north in
the next day or so should strengthen Dexter while it undergoes
extratropical transition. It should be noted that during the
extratropical phase of the forecast, there is quite a bit of spread
in the intensity guidance. Several models during the 36 to 60 h
time frame show the cyclone reaching hurricane-force. The NHC
intensity forecast has been raised to a peak of 60 kt at 48 h, very
near the corrected consensus aid, HCCA.

**There remains the
possibility that upward adjustments in the intensity forecast could
be need in future advisories.**
