The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a developing weather system off the coast of Florida, which could become a tropical depression or storm, though its formation chance remains low. Meanwhile, Hurricane Rafael continues to churn in the Gulf of Mexico, moving slowly and posing no direct threat to land, but contributing to rip currents and potential flash flooding in parts of Texas and Louisiana.
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.

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, made landfall in Cuba, causing significant power disruptions before weakening to a Category 2 as it moved into the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of only three Category 2+ hurricanes recorded in the Gulf in November. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has seen above-average activity, with Rafael being the seventh storm to undergo rapid intensification. The storm is expected to weaken due to cooler waters and dry air, with uncertainty in its future track.
Hurricane Rafael, a Category 2 storm, is currently in the Gulf of Mexico, posing life-threatening conditions to the U.S. Gulf Coast despite not being forecasted to make landfall there. The storm has already caused significant damage in Cuba, including power outages and flooding. The National Hurricane Center warns of dangerous rip currents and surf along the Gulf Coast, with Rafael expected to weaken over the weekend as it encounters drier conditions and wind shear.
Hurricane Rafael, a Category 3 storm, has knocked out Cuba's entire power grid as it moved across the island, causing massive waves, flooding, and widespread damage. The storm, which has now weakened to a Category 2, is expected to bring life-threatening conditions to western Cuba and has already impacted Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.

Hurricane Rafael has caused a nationwide blackout in Cuba, with winds reaching up to 185 km/h. The storm, a category-three hurricane, led to the evacuation of at least 70,000 people and warnings of storm surges, flash flooding, and mudslides. This blackout follows a recent power outage linked to infrastructure issues and Hurricane Oscar. Rafael made landfall in Artemisa province and is expected to weaken slightly as it moves across the island, but will remain a hurricane as it enters the Gulf of Mexico.
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 poses a risk of heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and mudslides in Cuba, with uncertain impacts on the northern Gulf Coast. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring another potential system near the Caribbean.
Hurricane Rafael is on a path towards Cuba, expected to bring tropical storm-strength winds and rain before moving into the Gulf of Mexico and potentially threatening the southeastern United States. The National Hurricane Center monitors cyclones, classifying them based on wind speed, with hurricanes posing risks such as strong winds, storm surges, and flooding. This hurricane season could be particularly severe, with predictions of 17 to 25 tropical storms, including several major hurricanes.
Hurricane Rafael has formed in the Caribbean Sea, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, and is expected to intensify as it moves over the Cayman Islands and western Cuba before entering the Gulf of Mexico.

A tropical storm warning is in effect for parts of Florida, with possible tornadoes. Rafael is the seventh Atlantic hurricane since late September, the most since 1870.
Hurricane Rafael, a rare November storm, is expected to make landfall in the southern US this weekend. Currently a tropical storm, Rafael is projected to strengthen into a Category 1 or 2 hurricane as it moves through the Caribbean, affecting Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba with heavy rain and flooding. The storm is anticipated to weaken before reaching the US Gulf Coast, potentially impacting areas from the Florida panhandle to eastern Louisiana with rough seas and coastal flooding. Meteorologists caution that the storm's path could shift, affecting its impact on the US.
Hurricane Rafael is strengthening in the Caribbean and is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico, but it is unlikely to cause significant damage like previous hurricanes Helene and Milton. Factors such as increased wind shear, dry air, and cooler Gulf waters are expected to weaken Rafael, potentially preventing it from making a strong landfall. The storm's impacts are expected to be less severe as it moves northward.
A tropical depression has formed in the Caribbean and is expected to strengthen into Hurricane Rafael, potentially threatening the Gulf Coast by the weekend.
