Florida is now in the forecast cone of Tropical Storm ETA as it continues to orbit across northern Nicaragua after hitting the country’s Caribbean coast. The storm has weakened, but is moving so slowly and throwing so much rain that most of Central America is on high alert. At least three people have been killed in landslides in Nicaragua and Honduras. ETA arrived ashore Tuesday afternoon south of Beloy, Nicaragua, as a Category 4 hurricane after stopping off the coast for hours. ETA Tracking: More Maps and Models Much of the latest model guidance now is not making ETA inland and the storm is slowly moving over the western Caribbean in a much more muddled state. There is a chance that ETA will start re-condensing later this week and this weekend over the Northwest Caribbean. This means that the effects can be felt across the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Florida and the Bahamas this weekend and into early next week before the storm pushes west into the Gulf of Mexico.

Much of the typical modern guidance now is not getting ETA inland and the storm slowly moving over the western Caribbean in a more disorganized state.
There is a chance that ETA will start re-condensing later this week and this weekend over the Northwest Caribbean. This means that the effects can be felt across the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Florida and the Bahamas this weekend and into early next week before the storm pushes west into the Gulf of Mexico.
