SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Eric Jaan discussed Tropical Storm Raphael, currently struggling to organize, as the Hurricane season continues into November. Updates are now received an hour earlier due to the switch to Standard Time. Historically, the U.S. sees few hurricanes in November, with only three since 1850 making landfall. The storm is projected to move towards Cuba, affected by high-pressure systems and wind shear, which may weaken it before impacting the northern Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, strong southeast winds are causing minor coastal flooding unrelated to the tropical system. The forecast anticipates breezy conditions and warm temperatures around 80°F.

SUMMARY: As November begins, the weather is becoming more dynamic after a calm October. The Gulf Coast is experiencing strong winds, with the forecast indicating returning rain and windy conditions due to tropical storm Raphael approaching from the Caribbean. A cold front in the western U.S. may also enhance shower and thunderstorm chances. Local temperatures are in the 70s, with gusty winds expected to continue. Severe weather risks persist in the central U.S. as the storm’s trajectory will be influenced by both high pressure and the cold front. Viewers should stay tuned for ongoing updates during this busy weather period.
