We will be very fortunate if Melissa does not cause a humanitarian disaster, even as Florida is again in the clear of a strange 2025 hurricane season.
Tropical Storm Melissa is forecast to become a major hurricane within days. Although the exact track is uncertain, some models bring it close to Florida’s east coast.

Forecasting models on Thursday continued to promise Florida had a low risk of getting walloped by Tropical Storm Melissa, with Tampa Bay largely in the clear even if the southern part of the state feels some of the storm’s eventual fury.
