Top 10 Questions We (by "we" I mean "I") hope are answered by the Melissa TCR1. What was up with the GFS during Melissa? The GFS kept trying to send the thing into Haiti, even when it was obviously not going there. It was pretty insistent on it for a while too.
2. Did Melissa ever go through an eyewall replacement cycle? People keep bringing up how it didn't go through an eyewall replacement cycle but had eyewall mergers or something. Hopefully we get at least a sentence or two about that part.
3. When did Melissa peak in intensity?
4. What was Melissa's peak intensity? Will the NHC bump the storm up to 165 kt? Will they move it down to 155 kt for some reason?
5. What was Melissa's landfall intensity in Jamaica?
6. Is there any other data from the core in Jamaica? Any at all. Wind, pressure, anything. Besides Josh's I mean.
7. How did it weaken so rapidly over Jamaica?
8. What was Melissa's landfall intensity in Cuba?
9. What was Melissa doing over the Bahamas? Officially making landfall I suspect.
10. When did Melissa dissipate and did it do anything of note while extratropical?
(I know we already kinda know the answer to most of these but it's not official until the TCR comes out)
