A rare pre-Thanksgiving #snow for eastern NC gave up to an inch of accumulation in isolated spots.

Is it now leaving as quickly as it arrived. #ncwx #snOMG #wx

The center of #Melissa is emerging back into the ocean.

The terrain of #Jamaica disrupted the core, but it will soon be fully over very warm waters as it makes its way towards a second landfall in eastern #Cuba.

As of the last advisory, it was still a category 4.

Here's what #Melissa looks like from GOES-West. The compression doesn't do the stadium effect justice.

Here's the link to the CIRA SLIDER loop: rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu?sat=goes-18&...

I can't imagine what the surge levels will be in the Black River Bay with the path #Melissa is taking upon landfall.

Very bad angle vs the topography.

A slight northward wobble as #Melissa makes final approach on the Jamaica coastline.

#Melissa getting close to landfall. Hurricane force winds likely affecting St. Elizabeth parish, including Treasure Beach by now.

Since the Jamaica Meteorological Service website is down, we have to go to the Pilón, Cuba radar to see #Melissa approach landfall in Jamaica.

#Melissa has started the forecast move to the NE. Looking at the #Jamaica radar, you can the see the eye go out of range (240nm) and then begin to creep back in.
