Tropical Storm Oscar is chugging toward the Bahamas after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least six people

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.

Oscar, which the National Hurricane Center characterized as "very small," is the 15th named storm of the hurricane season.
