Tropical Storm Nadine approaching Belize, Tropical Storm Oscar forms near Turks and Caicos Islands: NHC

Tropical Storm Nadine and Tropical Storm Oscar formed on Saturday morning – the 14th and 15th named storms of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Neither storm will threaten Florida, forecasters say.

Nadine will make landfall over Belize and head towards Mexico. A stalled cold front is expected to steer Oscar away from Florida and back out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Tropical Storm Nadine

Tropical Storm Nadine formed early Saturday morning off the coast of Central America and has made landfall in Belize.

There is no threat towards Florida, which is still reeling from the impacts of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

Tropical Storm Nadine is expected to make landfall over Belize and then head towards Mexico. No threat to Florida.

Nadine made landfall near Belize City around 11 a.m., according to the NHC.

Tropical Storm Oscar

The National Hurricane Center said it would soon issue advisories on Tropical Storm Oscar, which is nearing the Turks and Caicos Islands.

As of 9:15 a.m. the National Hurricane Center said Oscar, then known as Invest 94L, was less than 100 miles east of the islands. 

It has a well-defined center and was producing concentrated showers and thunderstorms. It had a 90% chance of development into a tropical depression or storm, the NHC said.

FOX 35 meteorologist Brooks Garner said Tropical Storm Oscar is not a threat to Florida, as a stalled cold front should steer it away.

The NHC said Turks and Caicos, the southeastern Bahamas, and eastern Cuba should monitor developments. 

Will we see tropical storms develop in November?

FOX 35 meteorologist Noah Bergren shared some thoughts on his Facebook page.

"Between still extremely high ocean heat content, light wind shear, and favorable MJO (Madden Julian Oscillation) phase... the stage is set for hurricane(s) or multiple systems generating in the Caribbean early-mid November this year. If you have interest in Puerto Rico/Dominican/Haiti/Jamaica esp. heads up."

"November tropical systems can sometimes threaten Florida…from the south but more times than not they track W (west) or E (east) within the Caribbean."
