Hurricane Rafael has intensified into a Category 3 storm with winds of 120 mph as it moves westward across the Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center reports that Rafael is not expected to interact with land in the coming days, but interests in the southern and southwestern Gulf should monitor its progress. The storm is forecast to weaken over the weekend and lose tropical characteristics by next week. Rafael previously caused significant damage in Cuba, including a collapse of the national electrical system.
Hurricane Rafael, a Category 2 storm, is currently in the Gulf of Mexico after causing significant damage in Cuba, including a nationwide blackout and flooding in Havana. The storm's future path is uncertain, with potential to move towards Mexico or the United States. Rafael has already caused heavy rainfall and flooding in parts of Georgia and South Carolina. Forecasts suggest it may weaken over the weekend, with possible impacts extending into the Midwest and Northeast. Meanwhile, another weather disturbance is being monitored near the Leeward Islands.
Hurricane Rafael, a Category 3 storm, has made landfall in western Cuba, bringing life-threatening storm surges, strong winds, and flash flooding. The storm, with sustained winds of 115 mph, is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico, potentially affecting the Florida Keys and the northern Gulf Coast.

The storm's impacts are expected to be less severe as it moves northward.
Tropical Storm Rafael has formed in the Caribbean and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Tuesday as it moves towards the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is projected to bring hurricane-force winds and dangerous storm surges to the Cayman Islands and tropical storm conditions to Jamaica and possibly the Florida Keys.
