Melissa is forecast to make landfall on the island today and cross Cuba and the Bahamas by tomorrow. Early yesterday, Melissa was centred about 135 miles (220 kilometres) southwest of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 320 miles (515 kilometres) southwest of Guantanamo, Cuba, the United States’ National Hurricane Centre in Miami, Florida, said.
