Melissa gathers strength before 'catastrophic' landfall in Jamaica National Hurricane Center reports Melissa has strengthened into a hurricane in the Caribbean on Oct. 25 and could soon rapidly intensify into a monstrous Category 4 or 5 storm, bringing perilous threats of rain, winds and storm surge to northern Caribbean islands.
The forecast is especially dire for Jamaica, where the hurricane center expects portions of the island to see two feet of rain or more. The storm is expected to move northeast out of the Caribbean over the next 5 days and not directly hit the U.S. mainland.
