SUMMARY: Tropical storm Raphael has formed in the Caribbean and is forecasted to become a hurricane as it moves toward the Gulf. Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin noted that while it’s still uncertain how it may affect us, the storm is expected to weaken rapidly in the Gulf due to unfavorable conditions like wind shear and dry air. Current maximum sustained winds are 45 mph, and discussions about its path indicate that models are split between the northern Gulf and western routes. Overall, the storm’s environmental factors will play a significant role in its weakening as it approaches land.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Raphael has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, with winds at 45 mph. Conditions in the Gulf in November are less favorable for intensification compared to peak hurricane season, leading to expectations of weakening as the storm progresses. It is currently improving organization as it moves towards Western Cuba, where it may strengthen briefly. The future track of the storm remains uncertain, with models suggesting differing paths towards the Gulf Coast. However, strong wind shear and dry air conditions are anticipated to hinder further intensification, possibly resulting in rapid weakening before landfall.
