Pinpointing the tropics
We are watching Tropical Storm Eta, which was over Nicaragua on Wednesday morning after making landfall there as a hurricane.
Eta has maximum sustained winds of 70 mph and was moving west-northwest at 14 mph.
The storm will eventually make a turn to the north and move over Cuba.
We will likely see the storm move into South Florida as early as Sunday.
We will continue to monitor Eta to see where it’s expected to go after that and how strong it will become.
