Plucky Zeta falters, revives
The Hurricane Season That Wouldn't Die still lives. Tropical Storm Zeta - the 27th named storm of the record-breaking 2005 season - continues to spin far out in the Atlantic, southeast of Bermuda. It slowed to less than tropical storm speed overnight, with top sustained winds of 35 mph. But later this morning it revived, revving up to 40 mph and regaining tropical storm strength (39 mph - 73 mph).
Here is the latest advisory. Here is the forecast track. And here is the view from space. (It's the cloudy smudge at the center-right of the image.)
Here is another view, taken on Monday, looking straight down from NASA's Aqua satellite. And remember, less than five months until the 2006 season officially begins.
