Tropical weather update - October 30, 2025

Hurricane Melissa, after causing widespread catastrophic damage in Jamaica and Cuba, is now a Category 2 hurricane moving away from the Bahamas and racing toward the North Atlantic. The storm is forecast to pass just to the west of Bermuda this evening & tonight. Melissa poses no threat to the US mainland and will become "post-tropical" over the weekend as it moves over cooler waters. There are no other areas of concern in the Atlantic basin for development at this time. But keep in mind that hurricane season will continue for about another month. So stay alert.
