The calm before the storm may soon be over — and its name is Melissa.
Forecasters warn that Tropical Storm Melissa, now forming in the Caribbean Sea, could explode into a Category 3 hurricane within days. Experts from Google DeepMind’s weather model predict winds surpassing 120 mph, powerful enough to cause catastrophic damage. “This storm is a nightmare to forecast,” meteorologist Gerald Mengel admitted. “All options are still on the table.”
Melissa is currently moving west toward Haiti and Jamaica, where residents are bracing for torrential rain and dangerous winds later this week. Some models even suggest the storm could shift north — coming dangerously close to Florida by the end of the month. “You’d be a fool to say this has zero chance of hitting the U.S.,” warned storm chaser Mitch West.
For now, the message is simple but urgent: stay alert, prepare early, and don’t underestimate Melissa. Sometimes, the scariest storms are the ones still gathering strength.
