Tropical Storm Nadine makes landfall in Belize; Oscar becomes small, powerful hurricane

Tropical Storm Nadine and Tropical Storm Oscar formed early Saturday morning to become the 14th and 15th named storms of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

Oscar has since strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on its way towards Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, and Cuba. Neither Tropical Storm Nadine nor Hurricane Oscar will have a direct impact on the U.S. or Florida.

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 National Hurricane Center with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph.

Hurricane Oscar

Tropical Storm Oscar quickly strengthened into a small, but strong Category 1 hurricane on Saturday, less than 100 miles from the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Oscar will have no threat to Florida, as a stalled cold front is expected to turn the hurricane out west towards the Atlantic. However, hurricane conditions are expected in Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and parts of Cuba over the next day or two, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Warnings are now in effect for Turks and Caicos Islandsa, as well as the southeast area of the Bahamas, the NHC said.

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

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."
