SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Ramirez reports on the latest tropical developments. Hurricane Oscar, now a Category 1 with winds exceeding 70 mph, is positioned just north of Hispaniola and moving west at 12 mph. It is forecasted to veer northeast towards the Southeast Bahamas, bringing widespread rain. Tropical Storm Naen has made landfall near Bise City and will continue to impact the Yucatán Peninsula, likely weakening into a tropical depression soon. Fortunately, a blocking high-pressure system is expected to prevent these storms from affecting the U.S., ensuring quiet weather ahead. The hurricane season runs until November 30.

Oscar quickly strengthened into a hurricane shortly after forming into a tropical storm.
