"Rafael is expected to become a hurricane as it passes near the Cayman Islands with further strengthening before it makes landfall in Cuba."
"The storm is currently situated in an atmospheric and oceanic environment that is quite conducive for strengthening," the hurricane center said.
In the Cayman Islands, officials closed schools and government offices as they urged residents to prepare.
"We urge all Jamaicans to remain vigilant," said Minister of Local Government and Community Development Desmond McKenzie.
