I am concerned for Malaise and the people of Jamaica. [View all]

The GFS Model takes Melissa east of Jamaica and over Hispaniola.

However, the generally more accurate European Model takes Melissa directly over Jamaica, where it hovers for 3-4 days!

That same Model forecasts 90+ MPH winds; however, the NHC forecasts Melissa to become a major hurricane.

This event could bring catastrophic wind snd flooding damage to Jamaica 🙏 .
