2025 Hurricane Season 3 (News coverage of Hurricane Melissa)

News coverage of historic Hurricane Melissa, which likely was stronger than the 185 mph reported winds. Nothing else needs to be said. On a side note, I will not be releasing videos next year covering the 2026 season. Please visit Two Time (Formerly C00lkidd) channel,    / @tropic00lkidd   , who has done a great job covering the 2025 Hurricane Season and will be covering the 2026 season. For any updates, please visit his channel. Thank you. Update: The National Hurricane Center's final Tropical Cyclone Report on Hurricane Melissa, released on February 25, 2026, upgraded the storm's peak intensity based on post-analysis of reconnaissance aircraft data, satellite estimates, and dropsonde observations. Originally estimated at 185 mph sustained winds near its catastrophic landfall in Jamaica in late October 2025, Melissa's maximum sustained winds were revised upward to 190 mph (equivalent to about 165 knots), tying it with Hurricane Allen (1980) for the highest wind speed ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. 0:00 Start 1:40 Invest 98L becomes Tropical storm Melissa 52:55 Tropical storm Melissa begins Rapid Intensification 59:51 Melissa intensifies into a category 1 hurricane 1:01:19 Intensification accelerates 1:04:35 Melisa intensifies into a category 2 hurricane 1:11:06 Melissa intensifies into a category 3 hurricane 1:13:20 Melissa’s eye continues to clear and become more circular as the storm’s structure increases in symmetry 1:13:58 Melissa intensifies into a category 4 hurricane as it pauses intensification temporarily 1:25:05 Melissa’s eye completely clears as its Central Dense Overcast becomes symmetrical. 1:29:05 Intensification resumes and starts to reaccelerate 1:35:41 Melissa intensifies into a category 5 hurricane as it prepares to turn north 1:43:58 Melissa very slowly moves west, just barely avoiding a stall 2:09:42 Melissa starts it’s north turn 2:14:25 Melissa’s CDO undergoes expansion, doubling it’s size and also cooling 2:17:18 Melissa completes it’s north turn, moving ne/nne 2:29:00 Melissa’s CDO fully stabilizes as it approaches land 2:31:39 Melissa begins intensifying yet again as it’s pressure drops below 900 2:38:46 Melissa reaches peak windspeed at 185 mph
