Tropical Weather Update
Tropical Storm Melissa still looks fairly disorganized in the Central Caribbean but is forecast to slowly get stronger and blow up into a major hurricane by early next week. Due to its extremely slow movement, it poses a growing threat of heavy rain, flash flooding, and strong winds to Caribbean islands, including Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba. Rainfall of 10 inches or more is possible in some areas, along with hurricane-force winds. However, there is no threat to Texas.
