Named Storm Eta has made Hurricane Status and may make Major category within 24 hours. This storm is just off the coast of Nicaragua (Monday November. 2, 2020 @ 11:35 AM EST) and will be picked up by southwest to northeast steering currents by early Friday, November 6. This system will travel through the far western Caribbean and potentially into the southern Gulf of Mexico by November 9 to 11. Once it gets into the warm water of the Gulf, some intensification is possible. All persons along the Gulf Coast of the US should be monitoring this storm carefully.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2020: After encountering mountains in Central America, Eta was reduced to Depression strength, but is back over water in the western Caribbean and may strengthen to Tropical Storm again soon. Long range projections from most tracking agencies are placing Eta into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by late Monday night, November 9. The steering currents aloft in the Gulf will most likely steer the storm northerly starting Tuesday, November 10. Therefore, we are renewing our call for all residents of the Coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico to monitor the progress of this storm carefully.
