Oscar held on to tropical storm strength overnight, despite the blow dealt by Cuba’s mountains, as it rolled over the Southeastern Bahamas on Tuesday. The storm is expected to drop about 3 to 5 inches of rain on the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos as it crosses the islands.

The hurricane center said Oscar is expected to maintain tropical storm strength as it exits Cuba later Monday night. Its next stop, according to the latest forecast, is the southern and eastern Bahamas on Tuesday. It could strengthen a bit, forecasters said, but it’s still expected to be a tropical storm when it strikes.
