Jamaica has mountains over 5000 ft high… a peak over 7K. Besides winds forecast to be cat 4/5 intensity (perhaps over 155 mph at the surface) the rain is expected to be prolific, due to slow movement and lift from the mountains (similar to Helene in NC) especially IF...

🇯🇲 CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE MELISSA BARRELS TOWARD JAMAICA WITH 160 MPH WINDS Hurricane Melissa just became a Category 5 monster with 160 mph sustained winds, heading straight for Jamaica where it's expected to make landfall tomorrow morning. It's the most powerful storm to hit the region since Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. Jamaica faces catastrophic conditions: 15 to 30 inches of rain, with some eastern areas getting up to 40 inches (more than they typically see in an entire year). Mountainous areas could see winds exceeding 200 mph. Storm surge will pound the southern coast. Jamaica's local government minister warned Sunday that many communities "will not survive this flooding." The storm has already killed 4 people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos are all in the path. Forecasters say shelter now, don't leave until it's over. Source: NBC News

LIVE EMERGENCY UPDATE on category 5 Hurricane #Melissa that has stalled out just southwest of Jamaica! This could be the first sign of a northeast shift toward direct hit with Jamaica on Tuesday. This current NHC forecast track now shows a landfall on the western side of Jamaica. These are my thoughts on the #hurricane after refreshing satellite imagery every 60 seconds over the last 48 hours. Final preparations should be rushed to completion in Jamaica! This could be the strongest hurricane to ever strike Jamaica.

I’ve never seen anything like this in the Atlantic. A CATEGORY 5 monster buzzsaw almost sitting in place as she slowly gets stronger and stronger. Displaying a cryovolcanic CDO that’s ruffled with gravity waves and holding on to perfect symmetry for HOURS on end. This is already upper-tier even if her winds are just 160 MPH. It is insane. There’s just no other way to describe it. And the fact that Jamaica is going to get hit by this, by this Hurricane that is breaking the scales of satellite presentations for Atlantic cyclones, is nothing short of blood-chilling. Please heed the urgent advice from the NHC and all orders from officials. Melissa is something out of the West Pacific when it comes to how intense her core convection is, and she may not even be done intensifying yet.

The National Hurricane Center said Melissa could quickly intensify into a hurricane today. The slow-moving system is swirling over the Caribbean, and could dump up to three feet of rain on Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Officials in Jamaica are preparing for what the National Hurricane Center is calling "catastrophic landslides and flash flooding". Jason Allen has the latest from Kingston.

This animation encapsulates why slow moving storms like #Melissa are so dangerous for mountainous islands like #Hispaniola (#Haiti & #DR) If NHC is correct this will move ~3 mph or slower. But even if the storm moves a little faster, especially if this storm ends up being a near/direct hit to Hispaniola, the collision between the tropical moisture and the mountains can be disastrous. This is our Hi-Res GRAF model. It shows a direct hit, but a faster moving storm. In just 72 hours it shows totals over 3 feet. Imagine if it moves even slower! Either way water cascades from the higher terrain downward into the valley villages, causing massive floods and mudslides. Now, we may avoid this outcome with the right track, but we must be prepared for the worst. Folks, if you are in the central Greater Antilles, take this storm seriously! Melissa doesn’t have to become a hurricane to be incredibly destructive. Worth noting, in 2016 Hurricane Matthew killed over 600 people in Haiti. #Caribbean

The NHC just confirmed that Category 5 Hurricane Melissa is NOT weakening on her final approach to Jamaica. With EXTREME winds of 175 MPH and an abyssal core pressure of 901 MBAR, she is one of the strongest storms in Atlantic History. We are about to go LIVE on X and YouTube with coverage and analysis of Melissa’s unprecedented and destructive landfall in Jamaica.

A disastrous scenario is unfolding in the Pacific today as the island of Rota is about to take a direct hit from Category 5 Super Typhoon #BAVI The estimated Winds on BAVI are sitting at an astounding 155 knots (around 180 mph), which is enough to completely devastate the island. We are witnessing an unbelievable Superstorm which is pushing the very limits of what nature will allow it to achieve. Praying for Guam and the island of Rota, which is about to see the worst of this deadly Super Typhoon.

Standing in downtown Truckee at 5,817 feet and this is where the Sierra snowfall story really comes into focus. This storm is measured in feet, not inches: Higher elevations of the High Sierra: 6+ feet Donner Pass (7,056 ft): 5 to 6 feet Soda Springs (6,752 ft): 4 to 5 feet Truckee: 2 to 4 feet That’s just over a 1,200-foot climb up I-80, and it nearly doubles the snow totals from town to the summit. For perspective, Truckee averages about 17 feet in an entire winter. Storm cycles like this can deliver a big part of that in just a few days, and this is exactly how the Sierra builds its snowpack. Travel over Donner Pass will take the hardest hit, with chain restrictions likely for all vehicles along I 80, a highway that may be shut down completely at times. In town, it’s continuous plowing and rapidly changing conditions. 📍Truckee, California #Truckee #LakeTahoe #DonnerPass #SierraSnow #CAwx
