Part of Tampa Bay re-enters Tropical Depression Eta's cone of uncertainty

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 has 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 35 mph and is moving north at 8 mph, about 85 miles northwest of La Ceiba, Honduras, as of the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.
