Tropical Storm Eta moves over southeastern Gulf of Mexico

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – The U.S. National Hurricane Center’s 10 p.m. advisory reported Tropical Storm Eta was about 90 miles away from northwestern Cuba. Maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph.

The forecast warns of more rainfall in the Florida Keys. Meteorologists estimate there will be an additional 1 to 3 inches with isolated maximum storm totals of 18 inches in South Florida.

There was a tropical storm watch in effect for the Cuban provinces of La Habana, Artemisa, Mayabeque, Pinar del Rio, and the Isle of Youth. Meteorologists expect a slow northward motion on Tuesday night and Wednesday.

The storm could make landfall again in northern Florida on Saturday.

There were no reports of storm-related deaths in South Florida after the storm made landfall on Sunday in Monroe County’s Matacumbe Key. A man was injured in Monroe County when a Bayan tree crushed his home.

The death toll in Central America last week was of more than 100 people. The Category 4 hurricane affected Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
