Hurricane Season
Tropical Update
Nov 18, 2013 2:18 pm ET
An area of low pressure that originated along a frontal boundary has separated from the front to become Subtropical Storm Melissa, the 13th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
Melissa is a large storm, with tropical storm force winds extending 230 miles from the center. The storm is expected to move slowly northwestward and eventually northward before accelerating northeastward and out to sea by mid-week. Melissa could strengthen or briefly attain full tropical storm status as it remains over ocean waters in the mid to upper 70s but will quickly transition to an extratropical storm by late week as accelerates toward much cooler waters.
Melissa is no threat to the U.S. or any other land areas.
