DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM EST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Eta was
located near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 79.0 West. Eta is moving
toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h) and this heading with
an increase in forward speed is expected during the next day or two.
On the forecast track, Eta is expected to gradually pull away from
the southeast U.S. coast.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. 
Eta could intensify a little as a non-tropical cyclone during the 
next day or so before it becomes absorbed by a larger non-tropical 
cyclone on Saturday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.  An observation at Folly Beach Pier in South 
Carolina recently reported a wind gust of 54 mph (87 km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Rain bands extending southwest of Eta’s center will
produce an additional 1 to 2 inches over portions of South Florida
tonight, where isolated maximum storm total accumulations will range
between 20 and 25 inches. Localized flash and urban flooding will be
possible overnight, especially across previously inundated areas.
 
Minor river flooding is expected across portions of West Florida
lasting into the weekend.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Eta will affect portions of the
southeastern United States coast through Friday. These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
