Description
The forecast this week includes a lot to talk about, with daily chances for rain and a developing hurricane heading into the southern Gulf of Mexico.
First, we start our week off warm and humid, with a few showers around each day. If you're heading to vote on Tuesday, make sure you have an umbrella just in case you run into a shower.
For the rest of the week, we'll be watching The Tropics. A developing storm is moving through the Caribbean Monday morning. The system, likely to get the name Rafael, will move toward Cuba by Wednesday as a hurricane. The storm will enter the Gulf of Mexico around Wednesday, likely as a hurricane. Luckily it's November, so we do think the storm will begin to weaken as it moves north in the Gulf. This is thanks to dry air, stronger wind shear, and cooler ocean temperatures.
The current track does bring the storm near Louisiana and Mississippi Friday into Saturday, but there remains a lot of uncertainty on how strong the storm will be once it nears the northern Gulf. If it weakens fast enough, there might not be much left of it that can have an impact. Based on the current forecast, our concern level remains very low, although we could see some rain and stronger winds. Follow the forecast closely through the week to see if there are any big changes.
