This is a disaster in waiting in the Caribbean. Melissa could very well be our 3rd C5 of the season. I’m not kidding. 

Yup and I really think this could be a threat up here.. not even wish casting.. the flooding could be insane for them

I’m still deeply skeptical for here, and don’t think any purely tropical solution is on the table, but if this ends up with a slower and further west track there could be some bend back or hybrid situation as Melissa gets pulled from the Caribbean.

To me it’s still all about what troughing looks like at the end of October. Much like the nor’easter earlier in the month you don’t need a direct hit for impacts if it’s going baroclinic/post-tropical.

Well.. yesterday, they had the track heading up between Cuba & Haiti .. today they now show it crawling and taking a left turn under Jamaica. So... If it does continue on this trend, then we will have a very strong Hurricane on our hands. I also think that this would allow it eventually to pull northward and at least give us some precipitation, or a better chance of precipitation than if it were to have had directly up through Haiti as it showed yesterday. Something to track

Sandy 2.0 is coming hard

If #Melissa does end up turning west over the Caribbean south of Jamaica (like the HAFS/HMON/Euro forecasts show), I don't think it's hyperbolic to say we will likely get a Category 5, and quite possibly one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic. -Deep, warm

Don't call it 'hyperbolic' then, call it 'childish and drama jerking' ...meh, semantics -

Andy isn’t prone to hyperbole—and it’s not hyperbolic if it’s right. The environment for Melissa increasingly looks as high end as you can get in any part of the Atlantic at any time of year. Without the earlier NE turn across Hispaniola, which the ensembles are starting to abandon, this not only gets to an anomalously warm and deep pool of OHC, it likely sits under a substantial ULAC with an anomalous jet streak to the north that will further aid ventilation. Melissa is meandering into a powder keg with a blowtorch.

Agree. Some of those Hurr models showing it.
