The National Hurricane Center is tracking weakening Tropical Storm Rafael in the Gulf of Mexico. A disturbance near the Bahamas could bring heavy rain

Hurricane Rafael made landfall in western Cuba on Wednesday and has now moved on to the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Some of the models suggest that Rafael may even do a small loop out in the Gulf. Meanwhile, a trough of low pressure near Puerto Rico is bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms to the area but has a low chance of development over the next week.
