Weather Update: Tropical Storm Melissa

Tropical Storm Melissa is currently advancing through the central Caribbean. The storm is projected to intensify and potentially affect Jamaica as a hurricane, with significant risks of flash flooding and landslides in southern Haiti.

As of Friday, the storm was positioned approximately 150 miles (245 km) southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 270 miles (430 km) southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It exhibited maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and was moving north at a speed of 3 mph (6 km/h), according to the United States National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Heavy rainfall is expected in Jamaica and the southern regions of Haiti and the Dominican Republic through the weekend. The storm may strengthen into a major hurricane by the end of the weekend, with potential escalation to Category 4 by Tuesday.

Jamaica's eastern region is forecasted to receive up to 14 inches (36 cm) of rain, which could lead to flooding and landslides due to already saturated grounds from recent rains. Melissa has already caused fatalities and injuries in Haiti and has disrupted water supply systems in the Dominican Republic, impacting over half a million customers. Public schools and government offices in affected areas of the Dominican Republic are temporarily closed.

The United Nations has initiated the preparation of over 100 emergency shelters in Haiti's southern region. This response comes in light of past storm devastations compounded by existing challenges such as erosion, gang violence, and weak governance.

Melissa marks the 13th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season and the first to form in the Caribbean this year. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-normal season, expecting 13 to 18 named storms, with 5 to 9 potentially developing into hurricanes, including 2 to 5 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph (178 km/h) or greater.
