Here’s Where Hurricane Nadine & Oscar Could Form After Milton

Experts are tracking what new hurricanes, potentially Hurricane Nadine and Hurricane Oscar, are forming in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. Many residents in Florida and along the Gulf coast are worried about any new tropical storms that might be coming after Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene. As a reminder, the hurricane season for 2024 is not over yet, ending on November 30, so the odds that the US will face yet another storm remain high.

What new hurricanes might form after Milton?

As of Friday, October 11, Meteorologists are watching two low-pressure systems that may form into Hurricanes Nadine and Oscar, one in the Caribbean and another off the coast of Africa.

Both AccuWeather and Mr. Weatherman, aka meteorologist Brian Shields on YouTube, are monitoring the southwestern area of the Caribbean near Nicaragua and the eastern coast of Africa next to Cabo Verde. The GFS, or American forecasting model, projects that the system in the Caribbean sea has a chance of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane, with AccuWeather estimating that it might form between October 17 and 19.

AccuWeather points out that this is the same area that “helped Helene take root” by way of water temperatures that are still well into the mid-80s. It’s still too early to predict whether this system, if it were to develop, will cut across southern Mexico or head “unfortunately, toward Florida.”

As for the system off Africa, the European forecasting model has it potentially forming into a tropical storm that could move across the Atlantic and impact the Caribbean islands. Other models, though, do not indicate that it will develop. Shields says that a front from the eastern US coast could push this system away and over water.
