Tropical Storm Eta is moving very slowly northerly off the Gulf Coast of Florida. This storm system is encountering upper level shear and some dry air along it’s path but still may make Hurricane strength. Current projections from many tracking agencies are for a second Florida landfall between Pensacola, Florida, and Tampa, Florida, within the next 30 hours. Persons along the Florida Gulf Coast and Panhandle can expect moderate rainfall with some lowland flooding as well as gusty winds, rip currents and beach erosion from high waves.
In keeping with our policy of at least mentioning all named storms, Named Storm Theta formed in the central north Atlantic and is moving easterly toward Spain. It is not a threat to the US, so this will be our only mention of Theta.
We are continuing to monitor Named Storm Eta and will post additional unofficial advisories if needed.
Please visit the National Hurricane Center website for official news and advisories.
