NOAA’s hurricane research division staff has been cut from 52 in 2020 to 28 in 2025, almost a 50% cut. They’ve resorted to using volunteers to man the critical radar and dropsonde stations on Hurricane Hunter flights. Senseless cuts in an era of climate change making the strongest storms stronger.

Hurricane Melissa's central pressure dropped to 892 mb today, tying the Labor Day storm of 1935 for the 3rd lowest pressure on record in the Atlantic basin.

Sustained winds peaked at 185 mph.

The only Atlantic hurricane on record with higher winds was Allen in 1980 at 190 mph.

If current forecasts hold, Melissa will be the most powerful hurricane ever to strike Jamaica. Sustained winds at landfall may top 140 mph, along with localized rains of 40"+ and major storm surge. Here's my latest update with @drjeffmasters.bsky.social:

Runs allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series:

Snell - 1
Yamamoto - 3
Glasnow - 3
Ohtani - 2

Sorry hang on that's *hits* allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series.

Dodger starters also have three home runs this series, which is odd because pitchers no longer hit.
