Tropical systems become less frequent in November because of less favorable atmospheric conditions. Additionally, storms that do develop find it more challenging to make landfall in the U.S. because cold fronts become more common during this time. These cold fronts can steer storms away from the East Coast or keep them confined to the Caribbean.

A rare November hurricane is expected to make landfall in the southern US this weekend, according to meteorologists. Tropical Storm Rafael is forecast to pick up enough strength to qualify as a hurricane as it approaches the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is expected to make landfall in the south-central US.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is waning, but it doesn't seem that way in the Caribbean. Tropical Depression 18 is expected to become a hurricane this week.

A rare November tropical threat could impact the United States over the weekend amid an unusual and relentless hurricane season that shows no signs of letting up.
