WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Even though Melissa is still producing hurricane force winds, it has become post-tropical late Friday morning.
A brief period of heavy rain and gusty winds is still possible over the southern Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland tonight.

Swells generated by Melissa will continue to affect portions of Hispaniola, Cuba, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Bermuda during the next couple of days. These swells are expected to reach the coast of the Northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada today and will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the weekend.
November is typically a quiet month for the tropics, but development can not be ruled out. We will continue to closely monitor for any signs of potential development.
