Eta Drifting, Record Breaking Theta Forms

Subtropical Storm Theta formed last night over the northeastern Atlantic.

Eta is nearly stationary, and little movement is expected today. 

Another few inches of rain are likely in Cuba and Southern Florida over the next few days. 

Forecast models are in very poor agreement over Etas track. It appears to be dependent on Etas intensity. 

A stronger cyclone could move faster to the northeast, while a weaker one will likely go more northwest. 

In general, Eta will strengthen some today and weaken starting Thursday.

Meanwhile, Subtropical Storm Theta has formed. 

Theta is the 29th named storm this year, and that is the most named storms in any year.

Theta should become a tropical storm today and change little in strength as it heads east to east-northeast over the open Northeast Atlantic.

While all of that is happening, another tropical depression is likely to form this weekend or early next week in the Caribbean. It would be named Iota.
