With Eta being the 28th tropical storm of the year, this ties the record from 2005 for the most named storms in an Atlantic Hurricane Season.
As of 7 a.m., the storm is moving west at 15 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm is expected to strengthen to a hurricane as early as next week and is slated to make landfall in central America early Tuesday morning as a Category 1 hurricane.

This is the first time the Greek alphabet "Eta" has formally been used.
In 2005, there was a system that the National Hurricane Center did not consider tropical; in a post-analysis, they added the storm to the list of storms as an unnamed storm.
Historic hurricane season prompts question: Can we run out of Tropical Storm names?
