The Watchers by Teo Blašković on November 3, 2020

Hurricane "Eta" rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane on Monday and Tuesday, November 2 and 3, 2020, before it made landfall in Nicaragua at around 21:00 UTC (16:00 EST) on November 3.

•   The center of Eta is expected to move inland over northern Nicaragua through Wednesday morning, and then move across the central portions of Honduras through Thursday morning.

•   The system is forecast to emerge over the northwestern Caribbean Sea Thursday night or Friday, November 6.

•   While it is too soon to determine the exact timing, magnitude, and location of possible impacts from wind and rainfall, interests in Cuba, southern Florida and the Florida Keys should monitor the progress of Eta through the week, NHC warns.

Evacuation orders have been issued for coastal areas in Nicaragua and Honduras, while in Nicaragua, red alerts have been declared for the Autonomous Region of the Northern Caribbean and the Mining Triangle ahead of the landfall.

The eyewall of extremely dangerous Hurricane "Eta" is moving onshore along the coast of northeastern Nicaragua, NHC forecasters said at 18:00 UTC (13:00 EST). Life-threatening storm surge, catastrophic winds, flash flooding, and landslides are expected across portions of Central America.

Moving NE?  That's a weird track for a Caribbean storm.   Is it because it's late in the season?

Track isn't so unusual, except that left (westward) turn just north of Cuba.  That shouldn't be happening this time of the year.

Eta strengthening on its way toward Cuba, warnings issued for Cayman Islands, Cuba, Bahamas and Florida

The Watchers  by Teo BlaÅ¡ković on November 7, 2020

Tropical Cyclone "Eta" -- blamed for the deaths of more than 170 people in Central America over the past few days -- is expected to gradually re-strengthen on its approach to Cuba as it remains over warm waters and in a region of upper-level diffluence. Eta's center will approach the Cayman Islands later today, be near central Cuba tonight and Sunday, and near the Florida Keys or South Florida Sunday night and Monday, November 9.

However, by the time Eta reaches Cuba, the models show an increase in southwesterly wind shear and drier air being drawn into the circulation.

These factors should cause Eta to level off in strength, and likely become asymmetric, NHC forecaster Cangialosi noted on November 7.

When Eta interacts and merges with the upper low, it will likely take on a subtropical appearance and develop a large wind field near southern Florida.

The storm is forecast to slowly weaken when it passes to the west of Florida as it moves in a drier environment.

I've closely watched these things for many many years.  I'll say it again....   Seeing a storm move west at the 25th parallel in the second week in November is remarkable.  Climatologically, this time of the year's troughs and front almost always move these things north and east like a vacuum cleaner.

Atlas 5 takes shelter from Tropical Depression Eta

Spaceflight Now by Stephen Clark  November 6, 2020

With Tropical Depression Eta forecast to restrengthen into a tropical storm and move toward Florida, United Launch Alliance moved an Atlas 5 rocket off its launch pad at Cape Canaveral Friday and delayed liftoff with a U.S. government spy satellite to Wednesday.

Riding a mobile launch platform, the 206-foot-tall (63-meter) Atlas 5 rocket began rolling back into its hangar along rail tracks shortly after 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT) Friday. A short time later, locomotives maneuvered the rocket into ULA’s Vertical Integration Facility about a third of a mile south of the launch pad.

ULA said it moved the rocket back into the vertical assembly building “due to impending weather from Tropical Depression Eta.” Teams planned to secure the rocket and its payload inside the VIF as forecasters predict a chance of storms and gusty winds across Central Florida later this weekend and into next week.

The next launch opportunity for the Atlas 5 rocket will be Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 5:22 p.m. EST (2222 GMT), ULA said in a brief statement Friday.

It looks like Eta is losing coherence just as predicted.....

Tropical Storm Eta lashes Florida with rain, flooding as zig-zag path will target state again

As of 7 a.m. EST, the National Hurricane Center reported the center of the storm was located about 80 miles west-northwest of Key West and 100 miles southwest of Naples with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and moving west at 13 mph.

The system officially made landfall over Lower Matecumbe Key late Sunday before moving further west overnight. But its outer bands with the worst weather were being dragged across the state Monday.

The wind field for the storm has nearly doubled since Sunday with tropical-storm-force winds extending up to 310 miles from its center, and the storm is expected to grow in intensity, becoming a hurricane as if moves further west into the Gulf of Mexico.
