@DCAreaWx "After a brief hiatus due to shear #Melissa is restrengthening again tonight. Just like last night we're seeing a cooling/symmetrizing CDO and a warming eye. These trends also imply our eyewall mesovortices have merged hence the deepening seen by recon (down to XXX mb)"

"Well#Melissa has filled substantially to around 950mb after crossing Jamaica but the core is still clearly intact as seen by rotating convective bursts refiring in the eyewall and a warming eye. This indicates that we may restrengthen some before hitting Cuba later tonight"

"Pretty wild axis-symmetrization ongoing with the convection in #Melissa's eyewall along with substantial cooling of the cloud tops. Very rare to see a full ring of -80C in the Atlantic (surrounding a +19C eye no less). I would think we are quickly intensifying be we'll see"

"Hurricane #Melissa possesses once of the most insane satellite appearances that weve seen in the Atlantic with an extremely cold/symmetrical CDO and incredibly warm/dry eye. Category X status has been achieved (3rd of the season) with further intensification still possible"

"Distinct mesovortices in the eyewall of #Melissa have appeared once again (h/t @WxTca). These work to locally enhance vorticity and then merge together forcing intensification (often observed during RI events). To do this at a base intensity of 175mph is nothing short of insane"

"Still thinking about #Melissa's extremely smooth merger EWRC yesterday. An outer eyewall developed rapidly shrunk to the size of the inner eyewall and merged with it. Subsequently the eye expanded CDO smoothed and deepening to 892mb ensued (until interaction with Jamaica)"

"@NascarConnor12 My guess is pretty close to MPI tbh. We just kept repeating the same cycle of merger rather than proper EWRC so not much reason to assume that wouldnt have persisted. Probably had more in the tank in the final intensification phase if it went west of Jamaica instead"
