This was Melissa's presentation on satellite throughout the weekend as it went from tropical storm strength to a category 5 in less than 48 hours. Strengthening of this magnitude is well beyond what is classified as rapid intensification. #Melissa

UPDATE: Melissa has exploded from a Tropical Storm to a CATEGORY 3 MAJOR HURRICANE in just 12 HOURS, with the Hurricane Hunters confirming winds of 115 MPH and a new low pressure of 967 mbar. It is difficult to convey just how extreme this kind of intensification is.

JUST IN: Hurricane Humberto has been upgraded to a 145 MPH Category 4 Hurricane, achieving one of the most explosive intensification rates ever observed for a storm in the open Atlantic Ocean. He was a Tropical Storm just 24 hours ago and is now forecast to reach CATEGORY 5 status. This is the first time in 90 years that the first three Hurricanes of the season have all attained Category 4+ strength.

Monday, July 27, 2026, 5:33 AM PDT/ 8:33 AM EDT: Hurricane Genevieve has become the most powerful storm on Earth, currently with sustained winds of 160 miles per hour. It is currently located 545 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is moving west-northwest at 13 miles an hour with this latest update. This eastern Pacific hurricane season, many months ago, was warned as a harbinger for major concern due to the strong progressive intensification, strong El Niño, and ongoing marine heat wave, which is a prime example of how the weather conditions were ready for a sudden rapid intensification process from a mere tropical storm to an unforgiving category five in less than 24 hours. Current sea surface temperatures range from 86°F to 94°F for optimal strength and little to no shearing in the mid levels and upper levels of the atmosphere to let the storm continue to plow through the eastern Pacific like an ox. #CAwx #AZwx #Genevieve #Cabo #ElNiño

An absolute buzzsaw lurking just south of Jamaica tonight. #Melissa is pretty much as symmetrical a hurricane as you’ll see on infrared satellite. Getting close to category 5 intensity.

Major Hurricane Melissa began as a tropical wave, strengthened into a tropical storm in the south-central Caribbean, then intensified into a Category 5 before making a destructive landfall in Jamaica, then Cuba, and the southern Bahamas. This timelapse shows its full path.
