FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross discusses Tropical Storm Melissa as it strengthens in the Caribbean. The intensifying storm set to slam Jamaica and Haiti, bringing heavy rain, high winds and rapid storm surge posing a potentially deadly scenario in the Caribbean.
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.
Tropical Storm Melissa formed late Tuesday morning about 300 miles south of Haiti over the central Caribbean but remains disorganized as it contends with persistent wind shear.
