Could Tropical Storm Melissa Be On The Way?

October 18, 2025

The National Hurricane Center is now watching two interest areas for potential tropical development in the Atlantic Basin. The first is a tropical wave moving towards the Caribbean that could end the season-to-date shutout of named systems in the Caribbean Sea, while the other is a non-tropical low offshore of the mid-Atlantic that could develop some subtropical characteristics over the weekend. If a tropical or subtropical storm develops from one of these systems, it would be named Melissa.
