Fox Weather is earning praise for its thorough and intense live coverage of Hurricane Melissa from Jamaica, including reporting by Robert Ray.

Melissa is forecast to become the first Category 5 landfall in the Atlantic Basin since Dorian roared into the Bahamas in 2019. There have been 32 Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic since the use of satellites began in 1966, with 13 of those having formed in the past nine years.
