Oscar has weakened to a tropical storm after making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Cuba this evening. Increasing wind shear and interaction with the mountainous terrain of Eastern Cuba contributed to the storm’s weakening.
This will not be a threat to Florida. Upper-level winds will eventually steer this system to the northeast by Tuesday morning. From there, it will likely maintain that general trajectory, keeping it away from the United States. Bermuda will still need to monitor the progress of Oscar.
There are no additional named storms or areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic at this time.
