@StormHQwx "Looks like #Melissa is starting to turn northwest now now is the last chance to prepare for impact especially for those in western Jamaica as this is where the core is forecast to hit in the next XX hours. For those on the eastern side of this storm which involves Kingston storm surge up to at least XX feet is expected & heavy rain bands with strong winds. A few tornadoes could be possible with those bands"

This drops over 500-850+ mm (19-33 in) of rain right over Jamaica as models have been moving closer to the island and moving at a snails pace. With this forecast to move more north this would potentially limit #Melissa to hit the environmental peak intensity but still category 4+ but that won't matter given how deadly these impacts will be"

"The potential little weakening that has occurred may be related to the eye temperature cooling down and a little bit more moisture but not much. Also those VHT's on the western side that happened earlier and is still happening may signal it's unstable again or a merger/Eyewall Replacement is happening again. But there is no evidence of a double wind max so we need more data to confirm this. #Melissa"
