Hurricane Oscar and Tropical Storm Nadine Threaten Caribbean Regions

Hurricane Oscar forms unexpectedly near the Bahamas while Tropical Storm Nadine impacts Belize and Mexico with heavy rainfall.

Hurricane Oscar, a small but rapidly intensifying storm, formed off the coast of the Bahamas and is moving towards Cuba.
Oscar has prompted hurricane warnings for the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, and parts of eastern Cuba.
Tropical Storm Nadine made landfall in Belize, bringing heavy rains and potential flash flooding to Belize, northern Guatemala, and southern Mexico.
Both storms emerged quickly, with Oscar surprising meteorologists by intensifying from a tropical storm to a hurricane within hours.
Neither Oscar nor Nadine is expected to pose a direct threat to the United States, though they add to an active hurricane season in the Atlantic.
