SUMMARY: Meteorologist Jason Adams provided a tropical update, discussing Hurricane Oscar, which rapidly intensified to a category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds, impacting the Turks and Caicos. Notably, the hurricane’s force winds extend only five miles, making it unusually small. Currently moving west, it poses no threat to Florida due to a cold front creating a blocking high pressure. Oscar is expected to turn northeast and stay off the Atlantic coast. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nen has made landfall in Belize, moving towards southern Mexico, but outside these systems, the Atlantic remains calm. Updates on Oscar will continue.

“Does not look to be any kind of a risk for us here in Tampa Bay.” Meteorologist Jason Adams gives an update about two named storms in the Atlantic.

A small storm, Hurricane Oscar, is moving west and will shift northeast on Monday, prompting hurricane warnings for the Bahamas and Cuba. Coastal flooding is possible due to high tides.

SUMMARY: Six months after a newborn was found discarded in a trash can at the University of Tampa, the mother, 19-year-old Briana Moore, faces charges including aggravated manslaughter and child neglect. State Attorney Susie Lopez expressed sorrow, noting the baby girl might have been saved if Moore had sought help. Following her birth in a bathroom, Moore allegedly wrapped the baby in a towel after she stopped crying and discarded her. An autopsy determined the infant died from asphyxia, ruled a homicide. Florida’s Safe Haven law allows for anonymous surrender of unwanted infants, highlighting preventable options for parents in crisis.

A former University of Tampa student has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and child neglect with great bodily harm after a newborn’s body was found in a trash can in April.
