Tropical Storm Rafael, which has recently formed in the Caribbean, is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall in Cuba. Forecasters are monitoring its path, which could potentially impact the Florida Keys and parts of the Gulf Coast. As Rafael moves through the Caribbean, models suggest it may reach hurricane status soon and could disrupt oil production in the Gulf. With storm watches already issued for various regions, residents are urged to stay informed about forecasts and prepared for possible weather changes as the storm progresses toward the United States.
