At 4:00 p.m., the center of Hurricane Oscar was located
near latitude 31.3 degrees North, longitude 56.6 degrees West.
Oscar is moving toward the north-northeast near 31 km/h. A faster motion in the same general direction is expected through Wednesday,
followed by a turn toward the northeast on Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 140 km/h
with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next
several days, but Oscar is expected to become a powerful
post-tropical low over the north-central Atlantic Ocean by late
Wednesday.

Hurricane Oscar is not a threat to Jamaica.

The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor this system.
