Watching Kristy, Oscar | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
It was a busy weekend in the tropics with Tropical Storm Nadine popping up in the NW Caribbean & quickly making landfall in Belize. The remnants of Nadine pushed into the eastern Pacific reorganizing into what is now Tropical Storm Kristy. Kristy is forecast to become a Category 2 hurricane later this week but will be moving west away from Mexico and the U.S. Oscar also formed in the Atlantic and quickly grew to a hurricane hitting parts of Cuba. Oscar has weakened to a tropical storm today over eastern Cuba and is expected to make a turn N then NE taking it towards the SE Bahamas. It will then move NE away from the U.S. the next few days before being absorbed by a non-tropical low later this week. Hurricane season runs through November 30th.

Continuing to monitor 2 disturbances in Atlantic Basin | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Update
We are still monitoring two disturbances in the Atlantic basin. Invest 95-L in the western Caribbean is now Potential Tropical Cyclone 15 with a HIGH 70% chance to become a brief tropical depression or tropical storm Nadine. PTC 15 is already very close to land & should move inland over Belize in Central America and Southern Mexico this weekend. Invest 94-L is just north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with just a Low 20% shot to become a tropical system over the next 2-7 days. By early next week, upper level winds will become unfavorable for tropical development. This disturbance will likely dissipate at that time. Hurricane season runs through November 30th.

Continuing to monitor two potential systems | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
Two areas are still being monitored for tropical development. One is in the west-central Atlantic and the other is in the western Caribbean near Central America. Invest 94-L in the Atlantic is a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands with a Low 30% chance of development into a tropical system.
