Tropical Storm Melissa is moving in the Caribbean and is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane by Sunday — warm waters and easing wind shear set the stage for high risks to Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas— while Florida faces only about a 5% chance of tropical effects and is expected to have a cool Halloween.
