Category 5 Hurricane Melissa has officially made landfall on Jamaica as the strongest landfalling hurricane in Atlantic history, with sustained winds of 185 mph and gusts up to 225 mph. A tragic moment for Jamaica.

Obvious wavenumber-5 mesovortex pattern within Hurricane Melissaβs eyewall earlier today β when the simulation matches reality. Just two decades ago, the very existence of mesovortices was still a matter of debate.

892 mb at sea level is absurd. You would need to climb to 1.1 km (3600 ft) above sea level to experience the same pressure on a normal day. A slab of air 1.1 km thick was essentially removed from the column above the Melissaβs center.

To give you a sense of how incredibly rare and unique Hurricane #MELISSA is, here are the most-intense landfalling Atlantic hurricanes that we have on record. MELISSA is now tied with LABOR DAY 1935 at the top β something I'd never imagine to see in my lifetime.

The Sentinel-2 satellite captured this image of Melissa's eye at peak intensity. 10m pixel resolution - one of the best satellite images ever captured of a hurricane of this intensity. Image from 16z this morning.

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

My Google translate for colleagues that #REF29 timescales of winter actually means the spring equinox....π€£π€·ββοΈ (for all REF managers across the country....the end of winter is Fri, 20 Mar 2026, 2:46β―pm)
A 3 month pause to review and make sure "we get it right" ..."that we measure what is most important" and we "reduce the administrative burden as much as possible." Original overall timescales remain.
