In the tropics, Melissa is forecast to undergo rapid intensification this weekend, and it’s expected to be a dangerous major hurricane when it passes over or near Jamaica early next week. Besides damaging winds, heavy rain from Melissa’s outer bands is expected to cause flooding and deadly mudslides in Jamaica and portions of Hispaniola this weekend. Early Friday evening, Tropical Storm Melissa was about 215 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica and 225 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Maximum sustained winds were 65 miles per hour at that time, and Melissa was moving north at 2 miles per hour.

There are hurricane watches and tropical storm warnings for Jamaica and the southern Haitian coast from the border with the Dominican Republic to Port-au-Prince on Friday, and hurricane warnings are likely in the region this weekend. Melissa is forecast to pass over Cuba by the middle of next week, so watches and warnings are expected there as well. The Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas could see serious impacts from Melissa on Wednesday into Thursday. Melissa has the potential to be a major disaster, and everyone in its path should take all precautions to protect lives and property.
