The Weather Authority meteorologists are tracking Hurricane Rafael, which has made landfall in western Cuba. Rafael is forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday evening. According to the National Hurricane Center’s 10 p.m. Wednesday advisory, Rafael is movingtoward the northwest near 14 mph, and maximum sustained winds have increased to near 115 mph with higher gusts. A general northwestward motion is anticipated over the next day or two, followed by a gradual west-northwestward turn in the Gulf of Mexico. From there, Rafael is forecast to remain even farther offshore from Southwest Florida, keeping the impacts minimal. Rain and storms will be on and off across the area throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Rain totals look to be limited and less than 1 inch in Southwest Florida. Breezy conditions will be with us through Thursday, with gusts between 30 to 40 mph. Tides can run a bit higher from Wednesday night through Thursday, but this won’t be an issue due to Rafael’s distance offshore. WINK News will have the latest on Hurricane Rafael throughout the day. In the Southwestern Atlantic, a low-pressure trough is producing an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands. This system is expected to move generally westward during the next few days, and an area of low pressure could form near the northern Leeward Islands on Wednesday night or Thursday. Afterward, some gradual development of this system is possible toward the end of the week and into the early part of the weekend while it moves near or to the north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and approaches the Southeast Bahamas. This area of moisture can bring isolated showers to Southwest Florida on Sunday and Monday. Over the next seven days, there is a 30% chance of further development from this system.
