TL;DR Summary

Tropical Storm Rafael has formed in the Caribbean and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane, impacting Jamaica and the Cayman Islands with heavy rain and strong winds. The storm may intensify further as it moves towards the Gulf of Mexico, although it is likely to weaken due to cooler waters and disruptive winds. Rafael's moisture could bring heavy rain to parts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. This season has been more active than average, with Rafael potentially becoming the 11th hurricane of the season.
