Tropical Storm Melissa (2025)

Storm Active: October 21-

Around October 13, a tropical wave began its passage across the tropical Atlantic. The system moved quite quickly westward and reached the Windward Islands on October 19. The vigorous disturbance produced widespread heavy rainfall during its passage into the eastern Caribbean, but its high forward speed prevented a closed circulation from forming. A little farther west, the system's forward speed slowed abruptly and it was able to become more organized. It was named Tropical Storm Melissa during the morning of October 21.

As of 11:00am on October 21, 2025, Tropical Storm Melissa had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, a minimum central pressure of 1003 mb, and was moving west at 14 mph. For more up-to-date information and the latest watches and warnings, please consult the National Hurricane Center.
