Depression 18 was located about 195 miles south of Kingston, Jamaica, and was tracking to the north at 9 mph.

The depression had winds of 35 mph. It needs a defined surface circulation and winds of at east 39 mph to become Tropical Storm Rafael. That could happen as soon as today, according to the hurricane center.

The potential Rafael could strengthen quickly after that and become a hurricane by Wednesday morning.

On the hurricane center’s forecast track, the storm is expected to move near Jamaica tonight, be near or over the Cayman Islands on Tuesday and approach Cuba on Wednesday.

Forecasters said hurricane conditions will be possible in the Cayman Islands by Tuesday afternoon

The storm could bring 3 to 6 inches of rain to parts of Jamaica and Cuba through the middle of the week.

More rain will spread to parts of Florida and eventually the Southeast U.S. later this week.
