Pinpointing the tropics
We are closely watching what is now Tropical Depression Eta, which has 30 mph winds as it moves west-northwest at 8 mph over Honduras.
The official track takes Eta to Cuba by the weekend. Then, it nears South Florida by early next week.
Computer models differ greatly as to whether Eta will reach Florida. Many models keep it spinning in the Bay of Campeche.
We will have to continue to watch to see if the track changes based on these model changes.
