SUMMARY: As we approach the end of hurricane season on November 30th, Tropical Storm Oscar remains barely classified with winds at 40 mph. It is located 80 miles west of eastern Cuba and is moving slowly at just 3 mph toward the Bahamas and then into the open Atlantic, away from the U.S. There are no expected intensifications due to dry air in the Gulf of Mexico. Overall, local concerns are minimal, and the chances of rain are zero as the season winds down.

Oscar will bring impacts to portions of Cuba and The Bahamas over the next few days. Heavy rain, flooding, gusty winds, and mudslides could occur across parts of Cuba through early this week. Oscar will eventually turn to the northeast out to sea and move into the open Atlantic Ocean by midweek.

Nadine has dissipated and is moving west towards the Pacific Ocean. There are no tropical threats expected along the Gulf Coast over the next ten days.

Mendoza, a former independent candidate and U.S. Air Force veteran, criticizes Letlow’s record, claiming she has failed to address rising costs for families. Meanwhile, Democrat Michael Vallien Jr. has not reported any campaign activity. Letlow boasts a significant campaign fund of $1.85 million.
