Weather Watch: Caribbean Storm Heads Towards Gulf

Hey there! A new storm is brewing in the Caribbean Sea. The National Hurricane Center is already keeping an eye on it, even though it hasn't become a full-blown tropical storm yet. They're calling it Potential Tropical Cyclone Eighteen. If it does become a tropical storm, it'll be named Rafael. This storm might hit Cuba and then move into the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of the week. But no one's sure yet how strong it will be or exactly where it will go. The weather experts are worried it could affect the central or eastern Gulf of Mexico. You know what's interesting? Louisiana has never had a named storm hit it in November. That would be something new! But without strong cold fronts to block it, it's something to watch out for. Stay tuned for updates!
