By windy.com's forecast, Eta looks like it will become a monster by the middle of next week. The wind speed forecast shown on the screenshot is for "gusts". But, still...

Keeping my eyes on that one...

Looking at that also. Not sure if it will be Eta or Theta or nothing at all.
I think (and much more importantly NHC has said ) forecasts may not be correctly handling the impact that mountains in western Nicaragua and especially Honduras will likely have on a relatively slow moving storm. 48-72 hours over land with 6,000+ foot mountains will hopefully shred the circulation.
Even if it does get shredded , the remnants might reform into something and I think models may be seeing that . Not sure if that would be Eta or Theta. Models that far out extremely unreliable, but obviously need to watch closely.

The National Hurricane Center says it will impact Nicaragua. This should not be a threat to Cozumel.
It's where it goes after and how long it sits soaking up power that worries us here

Agreed. After all, it IS 2020!
OP
It impacts Nicaragua, but then heads back out to sea and gets stronger. My original images are forecasting past this one.
When the thing goes from a Cat 1 to a Cat 4 overnight and just seems to be wandering, makes this newbie worried. Looks like two or three more days of uncertainty and ****** weather here......
