Tropical Storm Melissa was a nor'easter and a short-lived tropical cyclone that affected portions of the East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada in October 2019. The fourteenth depression and thirteenth named storm of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, Melissa originated from a cold front that developed over the southwestern Atlantic on October 6. The system developed tropical storm-force winds on October 8, before becoming a nor'easter on the next day. The system then began to organize, and was designated as Subtropical Storm Melissa on October 11. Melissa was then upgraded into a tropical storm the following day. However, the storm soon began to disorganize and transition into an extratropical low by October 14, before dissipating later that same day. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 65 mph (55 knots), lowest pressure 994 mb. October 8 – October 14, 2019. Accumulated cyclone energy: 1.3.
