Unfortunately the sky was indeed the limit. Catastrophic #Melissa is on track to be the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic in 90 years. Just absolutely gutted for the souls in Jamaica.

#Melissa is intensifying very rapidly this evening. TDR structure is nearly perfect for a TC of this intensity. Incredibly symmetric, strong eyewall, and a deep, aligned circulation. The sky is the limit. Very scary situation.

#Melissa is about to undergo rapid intensification (RI). And I anticipate it will be quite explosive. A classic cyan ring on 37 GHz imagery from this GMI overpass at 1447 UTC.
