The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave in the central Atlantic which is moving quickly toward the Caribbean. There also is a non-tropical system over the northwestern Atlantic — well away from Florida — that may develop into a tropical or subtropical storm over the next several days, according to AccuWeather.

Melissa is expected to strengthen from a tropical storm into a major hurricane this weekend, bringing “life-threatening and catastrophic” flash flooding and landslides to the Caribbean.

Aircraft tracking fanatics have spotted two hurricane hunters flying into the eye of Hurricane Melissa as it is set to make landfall in Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa left at least dozens dead and caused widespread destruction across Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica, where roofless homes, toppled utility poles and water-logged furniture dominated the landscape Wednesday.

First light in Jamaica brought the first clear view of the devastation after Hurricane Melissa made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane. Jason Allen got a look at some of the damage.
