The National Hurricane Center's 5 p.m. Friday update reported that Tropical Storm Melissa is in the Caribbean Sea, 215 miles southeast of Kingston Jamaica and 225 miles southwest of Port Au Prince Haiti. Packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, it is tracking north at 2 mph. Melissa is expected to strengthen into a hurricane.
A tropical wave, located just east of the southeastern Caribbean on Sunday, could develop by midweek — potentially into a tropical storm, experts said.
The National Hurricane Center on Saturday tracked a Caribbean-bound system with a medium chance to develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.
