Meanwhile, Oscar – the 15th named storm of the hurricane season – formed as a tropical storm just east of the Turks and Caicos islands, bringing warnings for nearby islands including southeast Bahamas and the northern provinces of Cuba. It quickly became a hurricane.
Oscar, which the hurricane center called a “tiny” storm, was moving west at 12 mph and carrying maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.
AccuWeather hurricane experts believe that there is no risk of any landfalling tropical systems in the United States or direct impacts from a tropical system in general in the United States through at least the rest of October.
