Subtropical Storm Melissa Forms In Atlantic

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Many people have November 30th circled on their calendars because it's the end of the hurricane season.  But before we wrap it up, forecasters are keeping tabs on a subtropical storm which formed in the northern Atlantic on Monday.

At 5 p.m., subtropical storm Melissa was about 650 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph as it moved toward the northwest at 9 mph.

There are no watches or warnings for this storm.

The National Hurricane Center forecast calls for Melissa to take a turn to the north on Tuesday followed by a turn to the northeast by late Tuesday. Some strengthening is expected over the next day or so and it could be near hurricane strength by Tuesday afternoon or evening.
