CATEGORY 5 Hurricane Melissa now has unimaginably violent sustained winds of 185 MPH. Her blistering core pressure has cratered to 892 MBAR in the final moments before a cataclysmic landfall in Jamaica. Melissa is now tied with the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane as the 3RD MOST INTENSE Atlantic Hurricane of all-time, and she is about to become the strongest landfalling storm in Atlantic Basin history.

Hurricane Melissa was upgraded to 190 mph today, tied for the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record! NHC says: “Based on a blend of the satellite estimates, flight-level wind and dropsonde data, and the fact that the area of strongest winds was likely not sampled by reconnaissance aircraft, Melissa’s peak intensity is estimated to be 165 kt at 1200 UTC 28 October. The dropsonde that measured a mean wind of 188 kt in the lowest 150 m, recorded an instantaneous peak wind of 219 kt (representative of a wind gust) at an altitude of 906 mb, which is the strongest wind ever recorded by a dropsonde in a tropical cyclone”

For those living near the sea, listen up. If Melissa strikes southern Jamaica as a major hurricane of category 3 to 5, the storm surge could be catastrophic. In this video, The Weather Channel (U.S.) explains why storm surge is one of the deadliest aspects of any hurricane.

Melissa has a very real chance of tying Hurricane Allen (1980) as the STRONGEST Atlantic Hurricane on record in post-season analysis. A 252 MPH wind gust in the southern eyewall. The driest eye ever recorded at -2.25 C (Meranti was the previous record at -5.00 C it’s not even close). The highest ADT estimate of all-time. A pressure of at LEAST 892 mbar. Cat 5 strength sustained for 35 consecutive hours. Multiple eyewall mergers. The lowest pressure at landfall in the Western Hemisphere. Yesterday, Hurricane Melissa joined the ranks of some of the most powerful tropical cyclones the world has seen in the satellite era. And tragically, she did so right as she made an unprecedented landfall in Jamaica.

The eye wall of #Melissa is now moving onshore. It is still an extremely dangerous storm, having maintained its peak intensity of 175 mph, Gusts 215, and pressure of 901mb. If it makes landfall at 900mb it would be a top three most intense landfalls in the Atlantic Basin. The western side of the island especially will experience catastrophic impacts. My thoughts are with #Jamaica
