Tropical Storm Melissa is showing all the signs of becoming a hurricane, with intensified winds and heavy rainfall already impacting Haiti and Jamaica. The National Hurricane Center has reported Melissa’s current position south-southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with winds nearing 50 mph. Forecasters predict the storm could reach hurricane strength by Thursday. The warm Caribbean waters are providing ample fuel for the storm’s rapid development. Meteorologists anticipate between 5 to 10 inches of rain across southern Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and eastern Jamaica through Saturday, potentially leading to severe flash flooding and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas. Residents are being urged by NOAA to prepare for the storm by gathering supplies, checking insurance coverage, and securing their homes. The storm’s track is expected to shift northward later in the week, but its current intensification underscores the need for continued vigilance across the Caribbean region.
