Hurricane Rafael Heads Toward The Gulf of Mexico
November 6, 2024
Rafael strengthened into a hurricane Tuesday night as it moves toward the southwest Gulf of Mexico.
It is expected to maintain hurricane strength as it moves into the southeast Gulf on Wednesday night into Thursday. However, it is expected to rapidly weaken as it moves into the central Gulf and approaches the northern Gulf coast late this week into this weekend as strong wind shear, dry air and cooler sea surface temperature impact the system.
It is too early to determine what, if any, impacts will be for Escambia County. However, the chances of any significant wind and/or rain impacts continues to decrease.
Beach hazards, including dangerous rip currents and increasing surf will become likely along the beaches later this week.
