Hurricane Eta

While everybody's waiting, just to point out that Goni in the Pacific "only" got up to 8.0, I think.

927 mb pressure. 137 kt flight-level winds and 130 kt SFMR.

Definitely a secondary eyewall forming. Satellite intensity estimates were rather overdone as per actual recon. But I see that as a win for the people of Nicaragua, so let's hope this storm struggles mightily with the additional eyewall and that the structure is undermined quickly.

I don’t think it’s done strengthening yet....this next pass will be telling.

This doesn’t seem to indicate an ERC.

Down 5mb between first and last pass. 155mph surface wind estimate to boot. 922mb.

Eta is doing it’s best to avoid landfall. Looks like a stall or slight drift south. Was supposed to landfall 8 hours ago...

It's awful, thinking about what's happening in Central America right now in this storm, so will just jump in and ask everyone what they expect to see later in the Gulf: a tropical or extratropical system?

Video of flooding in northern Honduras.

The Ulúa River in Honduras is at 15 meters, four meters higher than its peak flood during Mitch. The flooding in Central America right now is literally unprecedented.
