Tropical Storm Melissa Threatens Caribbean with Heavy Rain and Potential Hurricane
Tropical Storm Melissa is currently not strengthening but is expected to become a dangerous hurricane in the Caribbean, with potential for heavy rainfall, flooding, and mudslides in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Jamaica, fueled by near-record warm waters and climate change impacts. Its future track is uncertain, but it may intensify into a major hurricane and pose threats mainly to Caribbean islands, with minimal risk to the U.S. for now.
