DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM EST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Eta was
located near latitude 31.6 North, longitude 80.6 West. Eta is moving
toward the northeast near 18 mph (30 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)
from the center.

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Eta will produce an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain
across portions of the southeastern Florida Peninsula through early
tonight, 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.

Deep-layer moisture that has spread northward along a frontal
boundary across the Carolinas is producing heavy rainfall along with
flash and significant river flooding that is not directly associated
with Eta. See products from the NOAA Weather Prediction Center and
your local National Weather Service office for additional
information.

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