Hurricane Rafael is projected to intensify as it heads toward the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, potentially reaching Category 2 strength. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the Florida Keys, where the National Hurricane Center has issued warnings for residents to secure outdoor items and prepare for possible flooding and high winds.
AccuWeather meteorologist Bill Deger noted that slight changes in Rafael’s intensity or shifts in the surrounding wind patterns could significantly alter its path. With landfall possible anywhere from the Texas coast to the Florida Panhandle, Gulf Coast communities are advised to stay updated on forecast changes.
