Melissa’s 10-day run as a tropical cyclone – culminating in a catastrophic Category 5 strike on western Jamaica Tuesday – will end Friday as it transitions into a powerful non-tropical storm, clipping Atlantic Canada’s southern Avalon Peninsula tonight before heading swiftly out to sea.
Hurricane Melissa was racing away from Bermuda early Friday after leaving a trail of destruction across Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba, where the storm killed dozens, flooded towns and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
After weakening to a Category 1 hurricane after its passage across the rugged terrain of eastern Cuba, by Wednesday afternoon Melissa was recovering over the waters around the speckled islands of the southeastern Bahamas.
Beryl strengthened into a new Category hurricane on Saturday afternoon and is forecast to strengthen into a Category 3.
