Tropical Storm Eta and Its Predicted Effects on Central Florida

The National Hurricane Center has just announced that Tropical Storm Eta will likely regain as a Hurricane prior to reaching Florida with tropical storm force winds beginning tonight across portions of South Florida including the Keys.

A storm surge warning is now in effect for the Florida Keys including Florida Bay.

As you can see in the image above (thanks to @WeatherChannel on Twitter), Central Florida is in the cone, as they say. The storm is predicted to move west-northwest over the Keys and is expected to become a Hurricane by Monday morning.
