Two named storms in the Atlantic do not seem to pose a risk to Florida
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.
