Florida remains in path of Tropical Depression Eta, cone shifts slightly south of Tampa Bay

Eta made landfall Monday afternoon in Nicaragua as a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 140 mph.

Even though the storm, currently a tropical depression, is nearly a thousand miles from Tampa Bay, it’s a storm Floridians need to watch carefully for a potential impact in the Sunshine State early next week.

While Eta hast weakened as it moves over Central America, weather forecast models predict Eta will re-enter the Caribbean later this week and move toward Cuba and possibly the Tampa Bay area.

The storm currently has winds of 30 mph and is moving west at 8 mph, about 90 miles east of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, as of the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.
