Where were you able to access the radar? The Jamaican radar site hasn't been working for me.

Unless something goes wrong overnight, Melissa is going to be a terrifying beauty in the morning.

Such a horrific and beautiful storm. Nature can be such an amazing beast.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it reach category 5 sometime tomorrow, possibly fairly early if the rate picks up (and if the eye opens up it just might).

Major Hurricane Melissa currently has a heart shaped eye, however this potentially catastrophic situation with my fellow caribbean island in Jamaica is nothing to show love about right now. The rainfall is what worries me most plus the prolonged effects of extremely powerful winds. This could take months to recover from if that nhc forecast goes as expected! A slow moving cat 5??? No one ever wants to be in the middle of that :(

Also an interesting note from the last VDM, I'm not sure if this has any implication on intensification as I've never seen it before:

EYEWALL APPEARS SQUARE ON RADAR SIGNATURE


Probably means that there's strong mesovorticies in the eye that are making it polygonal in shape. When their winds mix w the rest of the eyewall, the eye becomes round again and the windspeed goes up.

I remember seeing this happen with hurricanes Idalia and Helene.

Melissa single-handedly making the Caribbean from a graveyard this season to featuring potentially the most intense storm worldwide for the year.

Agreed, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what I wake up to in about nine hours. Then the question is where will it peek at. We can only hope that it doesn’t peak close to landfall.

Melissa's eye temperature increased from -50.85C to -17.3C in less than 30 minutes. Absolutely insane, it literally shot up like a rocket

I doubt it spends much time at Category 3. Everything is set up for some explosive intensification.

2025-ing on 10/25/25 :double:
The events of tonight are only the beginning I'm afraid, we will probably look back on this moment and tomorrow's day as the time Melissa went absolutely guano crazy! The events of tonight are nothing short of extraordinary, and Jamaica really needs to be bracing for impact - from likely Cat 5 winds to a Harvey-like deluge but over mountainous terrain.

2025 saved the worst for last, after playing nice, it's now stealthily come up to deliver a devastating strike.
This thing is absolutely bombing right now, very reminiscent of Otis 2 years to the day. WOW.
