Big temperature swings this week! Loop: Map showing the forecast high (max) temperature departure from normal Today - Sunday. 🟦Much BELOW normal temperatures 🟥Much ABOVE normal temperatures weather.gov

Day 40 of the shutdown, that’s 2 missed paychecks and part of a third. Federal employees (including my colleagues at the National Weather Service) continue working without knowing when they’ll be paid, or are furloughed. If you know someone affected, please check in on them. #GovernmentShutdown2025

8:27 AM EDT, 11/7: First hint of #WinterWeather in the forecast for the #MidAtlantic region (#WashingtonDC, #Baltimore, and surrounding suburbs). #WinterIsComing #Snow

Out of all the stats that will be in history books from Melissa, this is the most astounding to me. GLM data was recording a peak flash rate of 700 strikes per minute — nearly 12 per second — as it made landfall on Jamaica. That’s rewriting our understanding flash density in tropical cyclones.

PSA: This time of day this week won’t be the same time of day next week. #DaylightSavingTime

The winds grow colder, and whispers ripple through the night, the siren has risen to sing her timeless call of #Christmas that is coming soon. youtu.be/Nn2KZOiYgUY?...

Thanks to some vigilant friends out there, I have a nearly-complete 87-hour radar loop of #Melissa 's approach to #Jamaica. The loop abruptly ends when the radar is lost (either loss of communication with it or loss of the actual structure). bmcnoldy.earth.miami.edu/tropics/radar/

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 polar-orbiting satellite made an extremely fortuitous pass over Hurricane Melissa right before it made landfall in Jamaica to provide these stunning images of one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in history

Hurricane Melissa, now a Category 4 storm with an occluded eye, has crossed to the other side of Jamaica after making landfall a few hours ago.

12:24 PM EDT, 10/28: Infrared satellite imagery as #HurricaneMelissa skirts the Jamaican shore. The large feeder outer band, and symmetry of the core of the storm, is a classic example of a strong tropical cyclone.

The @nhc-atlc.nws-bot.us position update from 12 PM EDT indicates landfall is imminent for #Jamaica, with safety information that people should be in their safe room. Treasure Beach, Jamaica is currently experiencing extreme winds from #HurricaneMelissa. www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...

9:33 AM EDT, 10/28: Dropsonde data for #HurricaneMelissa shows a surface pressure of 893 mb. #HurricaneSeason2025

With a central pressure down to 896mb as of 9am EDT, #Melissa has joined the elite sub-900mb group of Atlantic hurricanes... it is now one of just seven: Wilma 2005: 882mb Gilbert 1988: 888mb Labor Day 1935: 892mb Rita 2005: 895mb Milton 2024: 895mb Melissa 2025: 896mb Allen 1980: 899mb

9 AM EDT, 10:28: @nws.noaa.gov National Hurricane Center find #HurricaneMelissa stronger (896 mb, 180 MPH maximum sustained winds): www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...

8:53 AM EDT, 10/28: #HurricaneMelissa is strengthening right up to landfall over #Jamaica, which will be the latest #Category5 landfall for the #AtlanticBasin. Maximum sustained winds of 175 MPH, and 901 mb central pressure (possibly lower) are also among the top 10 intensities. Godspeed #Jamaica.

10:11 PM EDT, 10/27: #HurricaneMelissa is a textbook tropical cyclone tonight, with a circular appearance, clear eye, and outward emanating gravity waves from the center. This storm has leveled off in intensity so far based upon the last reported recon data, though another plane is investigating.

Hurricane Melissa's intensely cold cloud tops here are giving me flashbacks to Super Typhoon Haiyan. I wouldn't be too surprised if the 11pm update comes in even stronger than its current 175 mph/909 mb.

Impacts to #Jamaica will start early tomorrow with devastating #wind, #flooding, #landslides & #stormsurge. Prepare now! #Jamaica #HurricaneSeason2025 #Meteorology

In the last 30-40 minutes or so, we’ve seen a tremendous increase in lightning within the eyewall of #Melissa. This is one of the major harbingers for continued intensification of the storm, and its intensity could be significantly stronger by the time the sun rises once again in a few hours…

1:52 PM EDT, 10/25: #HurricaneMelissa, a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mph winds, is SW of #Haiti. It is expected to rapidly intensify and reach high end #Category4 (possibly #Category5) #Monday as it moves towards #Jamaica, with heavy #rainfall (up to 30”/750mm) & #flooding forecast.

#TropicalStormMelissa has formed in the #AtlanticBasin today, with expectation that it will strengthen in the days ahead. #Satellite is showing a healthy CDO this morning.

The #Fall #SevereWeather risk is making a return, with Saturday #October 18th being a day to watch. #SvrWX

#SubtropicalStormKaren has formed in the far northern #AtlanticOcean, and is expected to be a short lived.

Models have been showing this major rain event for many days now. Rainfall amounts >2" are likely over the higher terrain. It will be interesting to see the measured maximum rainfall amounts. This forecast graphic is from NOAA/Weather Prediction Center. BE SAFE! #azwx #weather #arizona

WPC has initiated Key Messages for an impending coastal storm that will look to generate strong wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and significant coastal impacts that include coastal flooding, rip currents, and beach erosion along portions of the East Coast over the upcoming weekend.

Tropical Storm Jerry forms over the central Atlantic and becomes the tenth named storm of the season.

Now a Category 4, #Gabrielle's satellite presentation continues to improve. Great time to watch the mesoscale loop as the sun goes down!
