"Strong westerly winds, driven by the jet stream, should prevent the storm from tracking into Texas, Louisiana and the panhandles of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida next week," according to AccuWeather. Forecasters encourage residents to monitor the tropics and to always be prepared.
Melissa was upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane as it made its way toward Jamaica and is expected to strengthen, the National Hurricane Center said Sunday.
