Tropical Storm Melissa is expected to become a hurricane, and it could rapidly intensify.
Tropical Storm Melissa is in the Central Caribbean Sea and could bring heavy rain to Jamaica throughout the week.
Melissa is fighting against strong winds high up in the sky, which are making it harder to get stronger. However, warm ocean water could help it strengthen in the next few days.
Melissa is currently projected to become a Category 3 hurricane.
There is no concern of Melissa entering the Gulf.
