Tropical Storm Eta could intensify back into a hurricane before it reaches the Florida shore, the National Hurricane Center warned Sunday morning.
Eta currently sits about 55 miles west of Canagua, Cuba, and about 235 miles south-southeast of Miami, Florida, according to the NHC’s 11 a.m. update. Winds are swirling up to 65 mph.
The storm is expected to drop five to 10 more inches of rain in Cuba before its effects reach the Florida Keys and south Florida Sunday afternoon into evening.
A hurricane warning is already in place in the Florida Keys from Ocean Reef to the Dry Tortugas, including Florida Bay, with a hurricane watch from from Deerfield Beach to Bonita Beach.
After crossing Cuba, Eta is projected to re-strengthen into a hurricane before hitting the Sunshine State.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for eight counties Saturday — Broward, Collier, Hendry, Lee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach — “out of an abundance of caution.”
Portions of central and southern Florida, including the Keys, are expected to see between six and 12 inches of rain, with up to 18 inches in isolated areas, according to the NHC. Storm surges up to four feet are possible from Bonita Beach to Golden Beach.
Forecasters also warned about the possibility of tornadoes either Sunday or Monday.
Eta made landfall in Nicaragua as a Category 4 hurricane Tuesday afternoon, killing at least 23 people as it trekked across Honduras.
