Latest update - Denis Phillipswonder how bad this hurricane is going to be.
Landfall will occur overnight Monday.
Unfortunately, this will likely be the worst hurricane Jamaica has ever experienced on record.
The winds AND the duration of the storm is unlike anything they have ever seen.
Rapid intensification has leveled off. Often powerful hurricanes such a Melissa go through eyewall replacement cycles.
It's possible this could happen before landfall.
If it does, the storm will weaken slightly for about 24 hours before expanding its wind field and getting stronger again.
Unfortunately, overall, this won't make much of a difference with Melissa.
The combination of extreme wind, 15 foot surge and up to 3 feet of rain will be devastating for the island.
