The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season might have at least one more trick up its sleeve.
A tropical wave in the central Atlantic Ocean shows signs of organizing as it makes its way west toward the Caribbean Sea, forecasters said Oct. 17.
"Interests in the Caribbean from Jamaica to Puerto Rico should monitor this tropical wave in the coming days," said meteorologist Ryan Maue in an Oct. 17 Substack post.
If it becomes a tropical storm, it would be the 13th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. It would likely get the name Melissa.
According to the National Hurricane Center, in a forecast released on the morning of Oct. 17, "A tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic more than 1,000 miles east of the Windward Islands continues to produce a large area of showers and thunderstorms. Gradual development of this system is possible over the next several days while it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph.
