Hurricane Melissa became a major hurricane Saturday night and is on track to be a Category 5 storm near Jamaica.
Melissa has intensified into a category 4 hurricane and could develop further to become a category 5 as it approaches Jamaica.
With slow-moving Tropical Storm Melissa expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane as soon as Saturday as it churns towards Jamaica and southwest Haiti, the United Nations said Friday it’s actively helping the Caribbean respond to any devastation.
