Nadine and Oscar form in the Atlantic as the tropics remain active

Nadine quickly became a tropical storm over the western Caribbean through the past 24 hours, but has moved inland over central America. This system will bring heavy rain to Belize, but no longer poses a threat.

Oscar has formed today from the tropical wave we've been tracking north of the Caribbean islands. Oscar is currently a category one hurricane and will remain a hurricane as it brushes the Cuban coastline through the next few days. A weakening trend is later anticipated as it turns back to the northeast, moves over the southern Bahamas, and journeys out into the Atlantic. Oscar will not pose a threat to the Gulf.
