Eyewall now reaching the coast. The full force of Melissa is now beginning to make itself known in Jamaica.

We will get under Labor Day's 892 landfall for the all-time basin record?

Eye saturated up to about 780mb.
Never seen it this high before.
Usually saturates around 850mb.

Poor little town of Black Water.
I believe Melissa now has the third lowest pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic after Wilma and Gilbert.

I’m still in shock. 892-891 mbar and still about an hour out. Jamaica needs all our prayers and then some.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Never in a million years did I think Milton would be surpassed so soon. I wonder if this is what the 1932 Cuba hurricane was like. Desperately hoping the best for Jamaica; at least Kingston won't face a direct hit or northeast quad hit

Do not take anything I say seriously as a form of meteorological prediction. I am not a meteorologist; I don't think being in law school translates to any special knowledge. I am just a somewhat bullish amateur watcher.

For an island whose strongest landfall in record history was a high-end Cat 3 (Gilbert), I cannot imagine how Jamaica could even wrap their heads around a sub-900 mb landfall, only the second time in the entire basin. Prayers...

Over 700' drop in elevation in a few seconds in recon.
Momentarily weightless and breakfast less.

Lowest on record in Jamaica is 958 mb (1951’s Charlie). Next is 960 mb (Gilbert 1988).
