Low pressure system in Caribbean may develop into Tropical Storm Rafael

newsweek.com

A low pressure system in the Caribbean is likely to develop into a tropical depression, with an 80% chance of formation in the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center. If it strengthens, it could be named Tropical Storm Rafael. The system is expected to move northward and northwestward, potentially bringing heavy rains to Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Cuba. Tropical storm watches or warnings may be issued soon. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft will investigate the system. Meteorologists suggest it could impact the U.S. depending on its path, but hurricanes in November are rare.
