SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the remnants of Nadine were located near
latitude 16.5 North, longitude 93.0 West. The remnants are moving
toward the west-southwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and they are
expected to move into the eastern Pacific later today.
Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
The combination of the remnants of Nadine and influences from a
Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event are forecast to result in the
formation of a new low pressure system off the coast of southern
Mexico in a day or so. Additional development is expected after
that time, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the
early to middle part of this week while the system moves westward
at about 15 mph away from the coast of Mexico.

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* North coast of the Cuban Province of Camaguey
A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected
somewhere within the warning area. Preparations to protect life
and property should be rushed to completion.
A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours
before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force
winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or
dangerous.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours.
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.
Interests in the central Bahamas should monitor the progress of
Oscar. Tropical storm watches could be required for this area
later today.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Oscar was located
near latitude 20.8 North, longitude 73.6 West. Oscar is moving
toward the west-southwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). A continued
west-southwestward motion at a slower forward speed is expected
through tonight, followed by a turn toward the northwest and north
on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Oscar
will move away from Great Inagua later this morning before making
landfall along the northeastern coast of Cuba later this afternoon
or evening. The system is then expected to move across eastern Cuba
tonight and Monday. Oscar will then accelerate northeastward across
the central Bahamas on Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds as recently reported by Air Force
Reconnaissance data remains near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts. Oscar is expected to reach the northeastern coast of Cuba as
a hurricane later this afternoon. Weakening is expected after
landfall, but Oscar could still be a tropical storm when it moves
north of Cuba late Monday and moves across the central Bahamas on
Tuesday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 5 miles (10 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles
(75 km).
The minimum central pressure measured by aircraft dropsonde data is
986 mb (29.12 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Oscar can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO header WTNT41 KNHC
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml
WIND: Hurricane conditions will continue across portions of the
warning area in the southeastern Bahamas, particularly Great Inagua
Island, through this morning. Hurricane conditions are expected in
the warning area in Cuba late this afternoon and evening.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area and
possible in the watch area of Cuba this afternoon into Monday.
RAINFALL: Through Tuesday, rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches with
isolated amounts of 15 inches are expected across eastern Cuba.
Across the southeastern Bahamas, 2 to 4 inches are expected, with
isolated amounts around 6 inches.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Hurricane Oscar, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total
Rainfall Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?rainqpf .
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding on Great Inagua Island in the
southeastern Bahamas, where water levels are expected to be between
2 and 4 feet above normal tide levels. Water levels of 1 to 3 ft
above normal tide levels are expected along the north shore of Cuba
in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be
accompanied by large and destructive waves.

WTNT41 KNHC 200844
TCDAT1
Hurricane Oscar Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162024
500 AM EDT Sun Oct 20 2024
Animation of 1-minute GOES infrared satellite images indicates that
Oscar's center has made landfall on the eastern side of Great
Inagua Island in the southeastern Bahamas. Small convective bursts
have occasionally been noted close to the center during the
overnight hours, suggesting that the hurricane still has a very
tight inner core. Overall, the satellite presentation is not quite
as well organized as it was yesterday afternoon, and with the
small core now over Great Inagua, the estimated intensity is lowered
slightly to 70 kt--albeit with a very large error bar. An Air Force
Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission is scheduled to investigate Oscar
in a few hours.
Oscar is moving south of due west (260 degrees), still at about 10
kt. Due to strong mid-level ridging to the north and west, Oscar
is forecast to turn west-southwestward this morning, which will
bring the center to the coast of northeastern Cuba later this
afternoon. The ridge is expected to be replaced by a developing
mid- to upper-level trough over the western Atlantic in 24-48
hours, which should cause Oscar to turn westward and then northward
while inland over Cuba on Monday. Oscar is then forecast to
accelerate northeastward over the central Bahamas on Tuesday ahead
of the trough. The NHC track forecast is very close to the HCCA
consensus aid for the first 36 hours of the forecast, and then more
closely follows a blend of HCCA with TVCA after that time. This
forecast is not too different from the previous prediction.
Oscar's small size will continue to make it susceptible to
intensity fluctuations, but the cyclone is expected to reach
northeastern Cuba as a hurricane later this afternoon. That small
size will also make the core vulnerable to being heavily disrupted
by the terrain of eastern Cuba, which rises several thousand feet
above sea level. Because of this, the GFS and ECMWF global fields
in particular show Oscar's circulation becoming less compact and
less well defined in about 36 hours. Oscar is forecast to weaken
over Cuba, but it could still be a tropical storm when it emerges
back over the Atlantic and moves across the central Bahamas in 2-3
days. Alternatively, it's also possible the Oscar could
degenerate into a remnant low or dissipate entirely while over
eastern Cuba. If Oscar does survive Cuba, it is likely to be
absorbed by a larger non-tropical area of low pressure over the
western Atlantic, and the new NHC forecast therefore shows
dissipation by day 4.
Key Messages:
1. A Hurricane Warning remains in effect for the southeastern
Bahamas and for a portion of the northeastern coast of Cuba.
2. Oscar is expected to produce a dangerous storm surge on portions
of the southeastern Bahamas this morning, especially Great Inagua
Island, and along the north shore of Cuba later this afternoon and
evening.
3. Heavy rainfall from Oscar will lead to areas of flash flooding
along with possible mudslides across portions of eastern Cuba,
especially within the Sierra Maestra, through Tuesday.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Oscar was located
near latitude 21.1 North, longitude 73.1 West. Oscar is moving
toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). A west-southwestward or
westward motion at a slower forward speed is expected through
tonight, followed by a turn toward the northwest and north on
Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Oscar
will move across Great Inagua this morning, make landfall along the
northeastern coast of Cuba later this afternoon or evening, and
then move across eastern Cuba tonight and Monday. Oscar will then
accelerate northeastward across the central Bahamas on Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be near 80 mph (130 km/h)
with higher gusts. Oscar is forecast to reach the northeastern
coast of Cuba as a hurricane later this afternoon. Weakening is
expected after landfall, but Oscar could still be a tropical storm
when it moves north of Cuba late Monday and moves across the central
Bahamas on Tuesday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 5 miles (10 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles
(75 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Hurricane conditions will continue across portions of the
warning area in the southeastern Bahamas, particularly Great Inagua
Island, through this morning. Hurricane conditions are expected in
the warning area in Cuba late this afternoon and evening.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area and
possible in the watch area of Cuba this afternoon into Monday.
Tropical storm conditions will diminish across the Turks and Caicos
Islands this morning.
RAINFALL: Through Tuesday, rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches with
isolated amounts of 15 inches are expected across eastern Cuba.
Across the southeastern Bahamas, 2 to 4 inches are expected, with

WTNT45 KNHC 200841
TCDAT5
Tropical Depression Nadine Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152024
400 AM CDT Sun Oct 20 2024
Mexican radar data and GOES-16 nighttime visible imagery show that
Nadine still has enough structure to it for the system to remain a
tropical depression at this time. The coverage of cold cloud tops
on infrared imagery has certainly diminished over the past 6 to 12
h, although there are still some cold cloud tops over the center and
in the southwest semicircle. The center of Nadine is moving over
increasingly higher terrain of the Mexican state of Chiapas, with
the peaks of some nearby mountains now as high as 5,000 ft above
sea level.
The depression is moving toward the west-southwest, or 255/12 kt.
The forecast shows the system accelerating slightly and bending a
bit more toward the southwest this morning. This motion would bring
Nadine toward terrain of about 8,000 to 9,000 ft above sea level in
about 6 hours. Terrain of that height is likely to break apart
Nadine's low-level circulation, which should cause the cyclone to
dissipate later this morning. A remnant low position is provided
at 12 hours for continuity, but Nadine will likely have dissipated
by that time.
Key Messages:
1. Localized areas of flash flooding are possible along the track
of Nadine across southern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and northern
Belize.
