Hurricane Melissa is slamming eastern Cuba on Wednesday morning, Oct. 29, after hammering Jamaica on Tuesday and causing widespread damage.

Hurricane Melissa is expected to weaken into an extratropical cyclone on Friday, Oct. 31, the National Hurricane Center said.

Hurricane Melissa's sustained winds of 185-mph become one of the two strongest Atlantic storms on record to make landfall, USA TODAY reported.

Melissa could intensify into an extremely strong Category 4 hurricane by early next week, with top sustained winds blowing at 140 to 145 mph.

Conditions remain quiet in the tropics, with no activity expected for the next seven days. But don't let your guard down yet.

Forecasters are watching a tropical wave in the Caribbean, where waters remain warm enough to support tropical development.

After tearing through the Caribbean, leaving destruction, flooding and more than 50 deaths so far, Melissa has lost power heading into the Atlantic.
