Oscar strengthens into a hurricane, packing winds of 85 mph

JOINING US WITH THE LATEST ON NADINE. IT IS STILL A TROPICAL STORM WITH SUSTAINED 45MPH. HERE’S THE LATEST COMPUTER MODELS AGAIN. STILL STEERING THIS OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. MOVING RIGHT OVER THE COAST OF BELIZE. MOST OF THE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT IT WILL EXIT OFF THE CENTRAL AMERICA COASTLINE THERE, AND THEN EVENTUALLY ENTER INTO THE PACIFIC WATERS. ANOTHER AREA THAT WE’RE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY IS JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. LOOKING A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZED THIS MORNING, HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF MAYBE BECOMING A DEPRESSION VERY QUICKLY, SOMETIME MAYBE LATER. THIS EVENING, LATER TONIGHT, NEXT NAME ON THE LIST. IF IT DOES BECOME A TROPICAL STORM IS OSCAR. THIS IS ALMOST 800 MILES TO THE SOUTHEAST OF FLORIDA. NO MODELS DO TAKE IT CLOSE TO FLORIDA, BUT THEY ACTUALLY STEER IT AWAY FROM THE STATES. AND JUST A GOOD REMINDER THAT WE’RE STILL INTO THE HURRICANE SEASON. NEXT NAME ON THE LIST, AS MENTIONED, IS OSCAR, AND HURRICANE SEASON DOES RUN ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER. SO WE STILL CAN’T RULE OUT A COUPLE MORE STORMS DEVELOPING
