Weather Advisory: Nov. 8 update on Hurricane Rafael

Friday, Nov 8, 2024 • 2:01 PM pvaldes

 

Due to new forecast model guidance for Hurricane Rafael, which now includes a possible northern track that could bring the storm closer to the northern Gulf Coast, we are issuing an additional update to keep our university informed.

 

As of 11 a.m. on Nov. 8, Hurricane Rafael continues moving westward across the Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Forecast models currently suggest two potential paths: one leading toward southern Mexico and a second, northern track that could bring Rafael closer to our region. Both StormGeo and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) expect Rafael to weaken over the coming days, with the potential to dissipate before reaching land. 

 

Minimal impact is anticipated for UTMB operations, although Galveston’s coast could experience strong surf and coastal flooding of low-lying areas prone to inundation. Additionally, a separate cold front is expected to move through our area tonight, potentially bringing isolated thunderstorms, but this is unrelated to Hurricane Rafael. UTMB’s Incident Command will continue monitoring Rafael closely and will provide additional updates only if the storm’s track or risk level changes significantly.

 

Reminders:
With hurricane season extending through Nov. 30, all employees should remain prepared. If you haven’t done so already, please:

  • Review your departmental and personal emergency preparedness plans, re-visit employee responsibilities during inclement weather and ensure all contact information is up-to-date
  • Complete the annual Emergency Acknowledgement Form online

 

As with any active tropical system, all employees are encouraged to have a personal preparation plan in the event a storm threatens our coast in the future. UTMB’s Incident Command is continually monitoring conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, and provides UTMB-related updates on:
