Hurricane Rafael will rake Cuba’s coast with Category 3 winds later Wednesday before it crosses the island nation and emerges into the Gulf of Mexico, weakened but on a track that could threaten the US or Mexico.
Rafael’s winds reached 110 miles (177 kilometers) per hour, making it a Category 3 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale. Like several other storms this year, Rafael is relatively small, with hurricane-force winds only extending 15 miles from its center. The current season has produced 17 storms, three more than average.
