Despite its proximity to the U.S. Gulf Coast, Hurricane Rafael is forecast to drift westward or southwestward, with no direct threat to areas from Texas to Florida.  Meanwhile, a storm system currently affecting southern sections of the Rockies and Plains will drift northeastward, reaching the Great Lakes region late in the weekend.  The risk of severe thunderstorms in the south-central U.S. will be greatest later today, with a modest threat lingering into Friday.  Snow associated with the storm will end late in the week, while storm-total rainfall could reach 2 to 4 inches in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.  Totals up to 2 inches could spread as far east as the Ohio Valley and the Mississippi Delta.  Elsewhere, precipitation will return across the Northwest during the weekend.
