Melissa becoming a hurricane this weekend; Winds picking up across South Florida

OFF WITH THE LATEST ON MELISSA. AND GOOD MORNING. TROPICAL STORM MELISSA WILL LIKELY BECOME A MAJOR HURRICANE, MOST LIKELY ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. A CATEGORY THREE OR EVEN A FOUR HURRICANE WITH WINDS CLOSE TO 140MPH JUST OFF THE COAST OF JAMAICA. AND JUST KEEP IN MIND, THEY ARE GOING TO BE ON THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THAT HURRICANE. SO THEY WILL BE DEALING WITH HURRICANE FORCE WINDS CLOSE TO THE HUNDREDS STARTING ON SUNDAY, MONDAY AND CONTINUING ON TUESDAY AS WELL, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE MOVING VERY SLOWLY, JUST LESS THAN FIVE MILES PER HOUR RIGHT NOW. IT’S CURRENTLY STATIONARY. IT IS NOT MOVING. EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE PICKING UP SPEED JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER ON TODAY AND INTO SATURDAY TO A HURRICANE, MOST LIKELY DURING THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR WEEKEND. MEANWHILE, BACK HERE AT HOME, VERY BREEZY AND KEEPING OUR TEMPERATURES VERY COMFORTABLE. NORTHEAST WINDS UP TO 11 12MPH, BUT CURRENT WIND GUSTS CLOSE TO THE 20S FROM STORAGE DOWN INTO BOCA. ALONG WITH THAT BREEZE, WE HAVE A COUPLE LIGHT MODERATE RAINS PASSING THROUGH SOUTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY NEAR THE TURNPIKE AND I-95 HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST JUST A 20% CHANCE OF A QUICK SHOWER FOR TODAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR SOME AREAS NEAR 82 DEGREES. WE’LL DEFINITELY SEE MORE RAIN ON MONDAY DUE TO
