Florida is now in the expected cone of Tropical Storm ETA as it continues to circulate 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. Tracking ETA: More Maps and Models Much of the newer model guidance now does not reach ETA inland and is slowly driving the storm over the western Caribbean into 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.
