Tropical Storm Rafael is being sheared and becoming more disorganized in the Gulf of Mexico. However - indirect rains from the storm will continue to bring some heavy rain to portions of the northern Gulf coast.
The tropical moisture will lead to rainfall totals near 3-6 inches possible in some locations with isolated amounts to 10 inches.
Rafael will bring flash flooding concerns in those areas through Sunday.
It is currently positioned in the northern Gulf waters, which is an unfavorable location for any tropical system.

The waters are much cooler and there is a lot of wind shear that will help weaken Rafael.
It will start to dip southward returning near the Bay of Campeche and Yucatan Peninsula.
The area will see increasing rain chances starting Wednesday.
Rafael will have already broken down into a tropical depression by Sunday afternoon and will continue to weaken into a strong low pressure system on Monday.
