Several tropical systems are brewing in the Caribbean after a brief period of calm in the tropics. Both Tropical Storm Nadine and Tropical Storm Oscar have been forming since 2 a.m. Saturday.

Neither system poses a direct threat to the United States, but Nadine could cause flooding in Central America in the coming days, while Oscar brings rain to the Bahamas and Cuba.

Nadine: A Central American rainmaker

Na​adine made landfall near Belize City, Belize, with winds of 60 miles per hour and a large shield of rain stretching across the western Caribbean. Nadine was taken north of Honduras in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Tropical storm warnings have been issued from Belize City, Belize, to Cancun on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, meaning tropical storms are expected through the weekend.

Nadine is pushed west over the weekend.

The system poses no threat to the United States.

The biggest threat to Nadine is heavy rains in Belize, Guatemala and southern and eastern Mexico.

Tropical Storm Oscar forms near the Greater Antilles

Tropical Storm Oscar has formed north of Hispaniola and near the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Tropical storm warnings have been issued for the Turks and Caicos Islands, southeastern Bahamas and eastern Cuba, where tropical storm conditions are expected through Monday.

This weekend it will move west toward the eastern tip of Cuba and the central Bahamas, then turn north over the Bahamas next week. Little to no impact from Oscar is expected in Florida.

Mild intensification is expected before Oscar approaches eastern Cuba, but given Oscar’s small size, it could be susceptible to large changes in intensity.

Gusty winds and several inches of rain are the most likely threats for parts of the Bahamas and eastern Cuba through Monday or Tuesday.
