A still powerful Hurricane Melissa made a second landfall early Wednesday over Cuba at Category 3 strength.

It made its first landfall Tuesday afternoon along Jamaica’s southern coast with 185 mph top winds as a record-breaking Category 5 hurricane.

Melissa is forecast to make a third landfall over the central Bahamas as a Category 2 hurricane.

Melissa could then threaten Bermuda before pivoting over the open Atlantic.
