JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center has been watching an unorganized cluster of thunderstorms in the Caribbean for the past few days. According to the NHC, recent visible and microwave satellite images suggest that the system almost certainly now has a well-defined center and it was upgraded to Tropical Depression 29. The system is in the Central Caribbean, about 315 miles southeast of Kingston Jamaica, and moving west at 15 mph with sustained wind speeds of 35 mph. The storm is forecast to strengthen into Tropical Storm Eta by Sunday and then a Category 1 hurricane by Monday before making landfall near Honduras and Nicaragua as a hurricane. Although the path does not show the system moving into the Gulf, The Weather Authority will watch it closely in the coming days.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tropical Storm Iota formed Friday afternoon in the Caribbean and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it approaches Central America. Iota is the 30th named storm of this year’s record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season. The spaghetti models for this system vary widely in what direction the storm will head. What the forecast models do generally agree on is that this system will be on the weaker side. The forecast models should come to a better agreement now that the system has actually formed and as it starts moving forward.
