SUMMARY: The 2024 hurricane season has seen Hurricanes Helene and Milton batter the southeastern U.S., with Mississippi potentially facing its first direct hurricane impact soon. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical depression, expected to become Tropical Storm Rafael. Currently with 35 mph winds, this system is projected to strengthen into a hurricane as it heads towards western Cuba on Tuesday. Heavy rain, flooding, and mudslides are anticipated in the Caribbean, prompting hurricane watches for the Cayman Islands and tropical storm warnings for Jamaica. Rafael would be the 17th named storm of the season.
