DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 PM EST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Eta was
located near latitude 30.8 North, longitude 81.4 West. Eta is moving
toward the north-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h). A faster
north-northeastward to northeastward motion is expected over the
next couple of days. On the forecast track, Eta is expected to
accelerate over the western Atlantic and move parallel to, but
offshore of the Carolinas tonight and early Friday before heading
well east of the Mid-Atlantic coast by late Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast through early Friday.
Eta could re-intensify as a non-tropical cyclone late Friday or
Friday night before becoming absorbed by a larger non-tropical
cyclone on Saturday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
primarily over water to the east of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Eta can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion
under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4, WMO header WTNT44 KNHC, and on the
web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml.

RAINFALL: Eta will produce an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain
across portions of the Florida Peninsula through today, with
isolated maximum storm total accumulations of 20 to 25 inches in
South Florida.

Localized flash and urban flooding will be possible across the
Florida Peninsula today, especially across previously inundated
areas. Minor river flooding is expected across portions of West
Florida lasting into the weekend.

SURF: Swells generated by Eta are expected to begin to affect
portions of the coast of the southeastern United States later
today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
