Hot Days Ahead, Hurricane Rafael Gets Stronger

We're in for another batch of unusually warm days and nights this week. While the rain chances decrease, a hurricane named Rafael is brewing in the Caribbean and heading our way. Experts say it could reach the Gulf of Mexico by Thursday, but the weather may not be in its favor. Expect sunny mornings and afternoons with temperatures hovering in the upper 70s and 80s. The warm nights, however, might bring some fog. As the week goes on, Rafael might bring some minor coastal flooding and breezes, but major impacts are unlikely. The weekend's weather depends heavily on how Rafael behaves. It's forecasted to weaken due to cooler waters and wind shear in the Gulf. So, it might just be a bit windy, or we might not feel anything at all. Louisiana hasn't seen a named hurricane in November before, so this is something new for us to keep an eye on. Without clean-cut cold fronts to shield us, it's best to stay tuned to the weather updates.
