Rafael has strengthened into a hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, and is expected to intensify further in the next 24 hours.
Heavy rainfall is predicted across Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and parts of Cuba, with isolated totals up to 10 inches that could lead to flash flooding.
Forecasters are monitoring Rafael closely as it approaches Cuba and the Gulf of Mexico, where it may weaken due to wind shear and cooler waters.
While the storm poses a threat of tornadoes in Florida, the full impact on the northern Gulf Coast remains uncertain at this time.
