2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather

Hmmmm....I do not like the looks of that. Moving way too slowly over some very warm water - 87F around Jamaica! Hopefully Cuba will knock it down a peg or two if it keeps moving north.

If #Melissa finds its way south-southwest of Jamaica in several days, this environment has the highest ceiling for any Atlantic tropical cyclone I can remember. Big, strong, slow-moving hurricanes like what #Melissa may become are when things like Oceanic Heat Content will start to matter a lot.

Jamaica is utterly fucked. 30-40” of *additional* rain forecast.

And it’s on the hilly side of Jamaica.

My god.

That's bad, right? It just dumps on you for hours?

We need giant fans to move it through faster.

"If confirmed, Hurricane Melissa would rank as the most powerful storm ever documented in recorded history."
