The Caribbean is stirring after a quiet hurricane season, as meteorologists monitor a developing tropical wave that could evolve into the next named storm, Melissa. Warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear are creating favorable conditions for potential storm formation by midweek, raising alerts across the Atlantic basin. AccuWeather reports that while the region has remained relatively untouched this season, conditions are now primed for rapid tropical development. Weather experts are tracking this system closely, warning that it could intensify into a hurricane within the coming days if favorable patterns persist. This could mark the first significant tropical system of the season, with “Melissa” expected to officially enter the Atlantic storm list. WATCH
