Oscar is expected to weaken into a tropical storm once it makes another landfall, but is still expected to produce strong winds and torrential rain.

(Reuters) - Hurricane Oscar has made landfall on Great Inagua island in The Bahamas and is expected to reach Guantanamo or Holguin in Cuba as a hurricane on Sunday afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Tropical Storm Oscar formed on Saturday, the 15th named storm of this year’s Atlantic hurricane season and the second in less than a day. It’s expected to bring heavy rain to the Caribbean islands this weekend, including Cuba, which has been facing a nationwide electricity crisis.
