Tropical Storm Eta made landfall near Cedar Key early Thursday morning. Shortly after 4 am, Eta was located near 29.2 North, 83.0 West, and was moving northeast at 13 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour. A tropical storm warning is in effect from Longboat Key to the Suwannee River and along the Atlantic coast from the Flagler/Volusia county line to St. Andrews Sound, Georgia. Eta is forecast to move across northeast Florida and into the Atlantic later on Thursday.
Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Theta was about 470 miles south-southwest of the Azores at 4 am on Thursday. Theta was moving east-northeast at 12 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour. Thankfully, this one is not expected to affect land. And the wave moving into the central Caribbean has a high chance of developing as it moves westward on its way to Central America. In the meantime, the wave is bringing heavy rain to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and part of Hispaniola.
