飓风梅丽莎加强至四级，对牙买加构成严重威胁
摘要
飓风梅丽莎已增强为四级风暴，持续风速达140英里/小时，正逼近牙买加，可能带来灾难性影响。
飓风梅丽莎已加强为四级风暴，最大持续风速达到140英里/小时，正逼近牙买加。国家飓风中心报告称，梅丽莎目前位于金斯敦以南偏东约120英里处，正以每小时5英里的速度向西移动。
预计飓风将继续增强，有可能在周二早晨登陆牙买加前达到五级强度。预测显示，梅丽莎将给该地区带来强降雨、威胁生命的突发洪水以及破坏性大风。风暴移动缓慢，增加了持续恶劣天气的风险。
牙买加居民被建议寻找避难所，并为多日强降雨和破坏性大风做好准备，这可能导致大范围基础设施损坏、长时间停电和通信中断，以及社区可能长期孤立。牙买加已发布飓风警告，而海地西南半岛从多米尼加共和国边境至太子港仍处于飓风观察状态。
梅丽莎在影响牙买加后，预计将于周二夜间横穿古巴东南部，并于周三进入巴哈马东南部。这些地区的当局正密切监视风暴进展，敦促居民保持关注并采取必要的预防措施。
