Tropical Storm Rafael Intensifies, Caribbean Braces for Hurricane Impact
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. Although it may weaken due to cooler waters and high wind shear, Rafael could still impact parts of the Gulf Coast. The KHOU 11 Weather Team is closely monitoring the storm's development.
