Melissa is a monster, and images start to emerge as Melissa moves through the island: landslides, flash floods, storm surge, and violent winds.

Melissa is likely to make landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 hurricane early on Tuesday. Catastrophic damage is forecast.

Melissa went from 75 mph to 140 mph in less than 24 hours. Jamaica braces for direct impact.

Showers and thunderstorms during the first half of the workweek could put down around an inch of precipitation, with heavier accumulations expected in the Florida Panhandle.

Hurricane Melissa becomes the fifth hurricane of this season, likely to become the 4th major hurricane. Jamaica and Cuba are on a direct path.

The Dominican Republic is dealing with severe flooding, while Jamaica will likely be hit by a major hurricane late this weekend.

Melissa will crawl over the Caribbean. Heavy rains and dangerous flooding are expected in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

Mosquito inactivity begins when temperatures reach around 50 degrees, with mortality setting in as temperatures approach the freezing mark.

Humidity levels will continue to fluctuate as several fronts make their way fhrough Florida. Another push of dry air comes midweek.

Hurricane Kate, which struck the Florida Panhandle on November 21, 1985, remains the latest hurricane on record to make landfall in the continental United States.
