The center of Rafael passed 125 miles southwest of Key West during the evening of November 6, 2024 as a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Lower-end tropical storm force winds impacted mainly portions of the Lower Florida Keys producing isolated small tree limb damage. Minor coastal flooding and Atlantic-side wave overwash occurred late on November 6 through early November 7, 2024, primarily in Key West. Brief street flooding occurred in Key West during the late evening of November 6, 2024 due to brief, heavy squalls from outer rainbands mainly impacted the Lower Florida Keys.
Event Narrative Minor coastal flooding along the Atlantic-side facing coast of Key West, Stock Island, and Boca Chica Key occurred as a combination of water levels reaching near 1.2 feet above mean higher high water (MHHW) and wave overwash. Minor street flooding occurred along with a temporary closure of State Road A1A (South Roosevelt Boulevard) in Key West within an ongoing construction zone.
