Discussion
The calendar has flipped to November, but the unfolding weather pattern suggests tropical threats are not over just yet for the Gulf of Mexico and southeast US. Hurricane Eta has strengthened into a strong category 4 storm in the western Caribbean and it is headed for a landfall in Nicaragua early today. After landfall, Hurricane Eta will push westward and likely reach Honduras later in the week and then it may skirt Belize as it heads back out to the open waters of the still very warm western Caribbean Sea. It is at this time that the concern may begin to increase significantly for residents in Cuba, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Southeast US as whatever remains of Eta could re-strengthen and push northward by early next week.
