NWS HQ officially announced the changes (in effect March 2026) at our local NWS Office in Slidell, which I was involved in the process to make these necessary changes for Jefferson Parish. Significant land loss since the last USGS update; Hurricane Ida was a main contributor.

Update: Our field correspondent, @iCyclone , is on the ground in Crawford, Jamaica, where words can hardly capture the devastation left behind by Hurricane #Melissa.

Now, as the island begins to pick up the pieces, Jamaica takes its first steps on a long journey toward recovery.

[WeatherNation @WeatherNation]

Josh Morgerman @iCyclone has resurfaced after experiencing Category 5 winds in St. Elizabeth Parish in Jamaica. The horrors of Hurricane #Melissa will continue to unravel in the days and years to come.

[Allen Dyess @DyessAllen]

Terrifying situation unfolding today for the island country. Bless up Jamaica

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

Early Tuesday, Hurricane Melissa became stronger than Hurricane Katrina.

Melissa's minimum central pressure reached 901 hPa.

The storm is now about 70 miles south of Jamaica's southwestern coast as weather conditions deteriorate across the country.

8.29 #NeverForget This anniversary hits a little different because of the documentaries being released. Some do not like it, which is acceptable. As a meteorologist & emergency manager, it is my passion and mission to innovate and improve the risk communication/emergency planning
