WPTV Meteorologist Glenn Glazer said Melissa is producing heavy rainfall, rough surf, and coastal flooding for the northeastern U.S.
The good news is that it will move east, away from the U.S. on Saturday. There is no threat to Florida.
Gradual weakening is expected over the next couple of days, and Melissa is forecast to lose its subtropical characteristics by Saturday night, according to the NHC.
