As the weekend approaches, gusty east winds between 15 and 25 mph are forecast to build across the state, influenced in part by Tropical Storm Melissa, which formed earlier this week in the Atlantic.

Tracking the Tropics

Melissa became the 13th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, though its development comes later than usual — about a month behind the historical average for the fifth hurricane, typically reached by Sept. 28. 

Gradual strengthening is expected despite ongoing wind shear, and the system could reach hurricane status by the end of the week.

Forecasters are watching a key turning point in Melissa’s track expected on Friday.

The storm may either continue westward toward Haiti or Jamaica or shift southwest and become trapped in the Caribbean. If the latter happens and the storm moves west of Jamaica, meteorologists warn it could intensify significantly.

“There’s a real potential for either a strong hurricane in the Caribbean or a major flooding event across Hispaniola this weekend,” said FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren.

The next chance of rain in Central Florida is not expected until Sunday or Monday of next week.
