USA Today reports:
Tropical Storm Rafael strengthened Tuesday on its path toward the Cayman Islands and Cuba as weather officials in the U.S. monitored the storm for potential impacts to the Gulf Coast.
Rafael swiped Jamaica on Tuesday and is forecast to intensify into a hurricane near the Cayman Islands and gain more steam ahead of its expected landfall in Cuba on Wednesday.
“Steady to rapid intensification is expected during the next 24 hours or so,” the National Hurricane Center said in its 4 p.m. ET advisory, predicting Rafael would maintain a northwest track for at least two days and reach the southeastern part of the Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday night.
