Tropics forecast: Tropical Storm Rafael to become hurricane over Caribbean
SUMMARY: Fox 35 Storm Team meteorologist, Snow Bergen, provided a tropical weather update on Hurricane Raphael, currently with 45 mph winds moving towards Cuba. The storm is expected to strengthen to at least a category 2 hurricane before making landfall in Cuba on Wednesday. The track of the storm is critical for Florida, as it could affect rainfall and potential tornado threats. While some models suggest the storm may bypass Central Florida, others indicate possible impacts, particularly in the Florida Keys. Additionally, another storm, possibly named Sarah, could develop in the Bahamas this weekend but is not expected to become a hurricane.
FOX 35’s Noah Bergren provides an update on Tropical Storm Rafael, including its latest track, forecast, and whether it will impact Florida.
